/lit/ - Literature

Hey, /lit/, I'm looking for a very particular type of book.

You know the way that a lot of books are written in third person but have a first person narrator? Books like Don Quixote, The Name of the Rose, The Brothers Karamazov, which a first person narrator, who makes himself known, is relaying a story in third person? I'm looking for something that plays with this idea in a little more depth.

Perhaps the first-person narrator has a minor character arc of his own, or jumps in frequently to comment on the third person story, or maybe breaks the fourth wall a lot with Nabokovian "I suspect my reader's eyebrows have reached the back of his bald head" jests, or outright abuses the reader.

I don't want alternating first and third person chapters, just a writer who is willing to jump into the story every now and then and play around.
