I’m looking for some experimental novels, and especially novels or novellas that have extra objects (letters that fold out, etc) in their physical or digital presentation. A good example of this is: B.S. Johnson’s “The Unfortunates”, which is a novel comprised of loose pamphlets that come in a box! It’s cool.
Some that I’ve read already:
– House of Leaves
– S
– Tree of Codes
Does anyone know of others? I love them.
Thanks!

The Illuminae Files, starting with Illuminae, by Amie Kaufman and Jay Kristoff. (I recommend the physical copies)
Nox by Anne Carson (poetry about loss collected in a box of notecards)
And Arno Schmidt’s books are incredibly long and almost impossible to find, but they have the most experimental layout I’ve ever seen in a literary work.
You may like [The Journal of Experimental Fiction](https://www.experimentalfiction.com/collections/novels).
My personal favorite experimental novel is Beckett’s *How It Is*.
If you can find *The Book of Breeething* by Burroughs, try it out.
Mark Z Danielewski has other books, all experimental.
