>A collection of vignettes — some only a paragraph long, few longer than a page — of episodes from the years leading up to the second World War, and then from the years of the war itself up through 1941. Baker mostly leaves his own voice out of it, except for a few paragraphs of “afterword” at the end.

Are there any other books like pic related - in the sense of being a "history" told in an immense number of fragments, quotes, interviews or citations, as opposed to a single continuous narrative? The only others I've been able to identify were Colum McCann's "Apeirogon" and Walter Benjamin's "Arcades Project" (sort of). Does anyone know of other histories written in this kind of way?
