A few of my all-time favorite novels are epistolary (i.e. written through a series of letters): The Perks of Being a Wallflower by Stephen Chbosky, On Earth We’re Briefly Gorgeous by Ocean Vuong, and Flowers for Algernon by Daniel Keyes. I’d love to find more epistolary novels and would appreciate any suggestions!

We Need To Talk About Kevin
Dracula, actually! But also *This Is How You Lose the Time War* if you want sci-fi/LGBT themes.
Not exactly high literature, but “e.” by Matt Beaumont is an amusing and light read. In this book, instead of letters, it’s emails — written by employees of an advertising agency and some of their business partners.
This is How You Lose the Time War by Amal El-Mohtar and Max Gladstone.
The Color Purple
Dangerous Liaisons
Pretty sure The Lacuna by Barbara Kingsolver is epistolary.
