Is there any kind of fiction where multiple stories are connected in a recursive loop? The connection could be a character who writes or narrates the story. e.g.

  • story A -> story B
  • story B -> story C
  • story C -> story A

Thanks in advance for any help!

    There are many time-loop stories in speculative fiction. Hell, there’s like a thousand episodes of sci fi TV with this premise.

    But if you’re looking for a good one, try Hyperion (and Fall of Hyperion). The first book can standalone, but the second book gives you a more satisfying answer to your question. It is told in a Canterbury Tales style, with multiple converging retrospectives. But the principle antagonist is time itself. Very fun read.
