 | Epistolary Novels Epistolary novels can tell a story on an intimate level. Through one or more characters' written letters, emails, diary entries, or other documents, we can look deeper into their lives, emotions, and relationships. Follow characters going through huge life changes, reflecting on their past choices, or forging friendships from across the globe. If you're interested in reading fictional letters from Virginia Woolf, interviews of washed-up rock stars, or the logbook of an astronaut stuck on Mars, check out these 10 epistolary novels and get to know their characters' innermost thoughts and fears as they put pen to paper.

 | James Baldwin-Centenary James Baldwin (1924-1987) was a novelist, essayist, playwright, poet, and social critic. His first novel, Go Tell It on the Mountain, appeared in 1953 to excellent reviews, and his essay collections Notes of a Native Son and The Fire Next Time were bestsellers that made him an influential figure in the growing civil rights movement. Baldwin spent much of his life in France, where he moved to escape the racism and homophobia of the United States. He died in France in 1987, a year after being made a Commander of the French Legion of Honor. Check out his books here |
