my (curated & picky) list of literary retellings of classic novels! all ask you to reconsider the original text.

April ‘26 book club theme of the month. This month we’re going back to basics! Book club members are encouraged to read a classic or a retelling of a classic. This list encompasses some classics +/or their retellings. Members’ read books will also be in this list!

Behold: yet another of my 2 a.m. deep dives - this time into epistolary literature! The list starts with some of the earliest examples of the form and follows it into the present day, from stories told through letters and diaries to those built from emails, texts, transcripts, and other documents. Whether you’re a longtime fan or completely new to this genre, what interests you most about it?

(A quick note: I put this list together using Wikipedia, blog posts, and Reddit threads. I did my best to keep everything in chronological order, but a few mistakes may have slipped through - it was 2 a.m., after all. If you have any suggestions on what else I should add, I’d love to hear it!)
