#WritersCoffeeClub Oct 1: Have you written in an epistolary format?

Nope—at least not at anything longer than short-short story length. Not really interested in it.

@cstross personally i reckon The Concrete Jungle, The Fuller Memorandum and Equoid ought to count.

@Unixbigot No, those are all primarily first person narratives! (With some supplementary documentary inserts.)

@cstross in a weird way my memory treats those letter-format documentary inserts, which I enjoyed immensely btw, as separate works. When I recall The Concrete Jungle, say, I remember the Bob-PoV plot, and always trip over the various letters and reports with delighted surprise.
