Len Deightons Spy Sinker revisits events from the first 5 Bernard Samson books, seen from the POV of his wife and colleagues.
Armand’s story has been told three times:
By Louis in Interview with the Vampire
By Marius in Blood and Gold
By Armand himself in The Vampire Armand.
The next Anne Rice novel coming in October 2018, Blood Communion sounds like it is a re-telling of the events of the previous couple of books from Lestat’s POV.
Although I read them many decades ago, ISTR Philip José Farmer’s Riverworld series doing this. Each book is a new adventure, but some of the same characters/situations are described in multiple books, each time from someone else’s perspective.
I love Robertson Davies and that trilogy. I have signed First Canadian editions of that trilogy (and his other two).
My nomination for this thread: An Instance of the Fingerpost by Iain Pears. It is an Historical Fiction Murder Mystery/Thriller. It is set in Oxford England at the death of Oliver Cromwell and how his rule of the UK would be succeeded, and most characters and events actually happened. But relevant to this thread, it is written in four parts - in each subsquent section, a different narrator revels truths about the previous narrators that changes what they claimed, and adds more detail. Not Rashoman exactly, because it is not about a specific single event, but rather the unfolding of this complex Succession + fictional mystery over a period of time.
Fun read! https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00AFYOQP6/ref=dp-kindle-redirect?_encoding=UTF8&btkr=1
The main thing that comes to mind for me is that both Twilight and the fanfic Fifty Shades have this going on with the guy. I wonder what it says about me that I remember it from authors I don’t like.
Anthony did the same thing in his Xanth series, which (a) I’d guess you’d like even less, but which (b) retold various events from the POV of that old wizard who could supposedly answer any question for anybody desperate enough to pledge one year’s service to the guy, who’d served as a plot device in the old books.
The gag, of course, is that we now get to see him doubt whether he really deserves his reputation — and that he only pretended to have a mystical pact with the demon he’d made a big show of summoning — and that it’s not clear, to him, if he even has a magic talent, since he’s been satisfying querents by having just kept good records of what he learned via curiosity and luck (which has let him go favor-for-a-favor to get yet more stuff on tap, such that his whole operation almost runs itself).
If you want to count theater, Alan Ayckbourn’s The Norman Conquests are a trilogy of plays (Table Manners, Living Together and Round and Round the Garden) all showing events at the same characters over the same weekend. Characters will exit the scene in Table Manners and go to the living room where they show up in Living Together.
Ayckbourn later wrote House and Garden which had two plays running simultaneously in different auditoriums.
In both cases, incidents in one play is referred to in the others.
Slightly stretching the “same author” criterion, Juggler of Worlds (Larry Niven and Edward M. Lerner) revisits several Known Space stories from a different POV.
The Other Waldo Pepper, the book you’re referring to would be Question Quest, which was the only Xanth book past about the sixth or seventh one which didn’t completely suck.
I have a ton of affection for both the main Pern books and the Harper Hall Trilogy (Dragonsong/singer/drums), and I wouldn’t have said they fit this thread at all. They’re set in the same universe, and occasionally in them people hear about the big events that happened in the “main” books, but they’re a fully contained set of side stories, not “a teenager is present at all the main events of Dragonflight and reacts to them”. That said, they’re well worth reading.
(Note that some of the characters introduced in the Harper Hall Trilogy show up as minor characters in The White Dragon, the third of the main Pern books.)
