Epistolary novels are a recurring narrative device in French Literature. I guess it doesn’t score points for originality, but some of them are really good. Off the top of my head, I can think of Mémoires d’Hadrien de Marguerite Yourcenar , les lettres Persanes de Montesquieu, les liaisons dangereuses and Les lettres Chinoises de Ying Chen.
L’écume des jours de Boris Vian is pretty difficult to explain but should be read by everyone.
