Can you give some examples of quilt fiction?
Another example is 'The Hours' by Michael Cunningham. This novel interconnects the lives of different characters across different time frames and storylines, much like the pieces of a quilt. It draws on Virginia Woolf's 'Mrs Dalloway' and creates a complex tapestry of stories related to different women's experiences.
One example could be 'Cloud Atlas' by David Mitchell. It weaves together stories from different time periods and locations in a quilt - like fashion.
A less well - known example is 'Orlando' by Virginia Woolf herself. While not a traditional quilt fiction in the modern sense, it combines elements of different genders, time periods, and literary styles. The main character experiences a transformation over time and across different historical and fictional landscapes, and Woolf stitches together these various elements to create a unique and thought - provoking work that can be considered an early form of what we now call quilt fiction.
