End of the 2000s, but Agustin Fernandez Mallo's Nocilla trilogy is fucking amazing, it's basically a series of short stories, but cut apart and interspersed with quotes and interviews. At least the first two books follow this formula, the third is kind of an afterword (hard to tell if it's real or fictional) and a more traditional story, but has elements of mixed media. It's just really fun if you want something to mess with your brain.
