The organization of the novel "Trust" by Herman Diaz was unique in my experience. Four independent takes on essentially the same actions and events - a fictionalized story of a wall street tycoon, the biography-in-process of that tycoon, the woman hired to write the biography and the diary kept by the tycoon's wife. A fascinating portrait of ego and hubris in the Wall Street of the 1920's and 1930's. Highly recommended.
