#2: Initial revision
I could suggest the [_Water!_ trilogy](http://rads.stackoverflow.com/amzn/click/0451454499) by Gael Baudino, but it's not well-known and I found the experimental format exhausting. Still, Your Mileage May Vary. In the three books (_O Greenest Branch, The Dove Looked In, Branch and Crown_) she kept switching not merely narrator and POV, but the entire narrative style: parts were standard narration, then parts were being told by a marketing guy as he was getting mugged, then parts were a stone-cutting manual which was increasingly crossed out and being used as a religious text.... I guess in the end the story was told, but it was kind of painful after a while. And I _really_ loved Baudino's other works (The Elven series, _Gossamer Axe_), so this was a letdown for me.
