      I just got a graphic novel adaptation of Nineteen Eighty-Four and was pleasantly surprised to see they included the Appendix “Principles of Newspeak” (as unillustrated text). I think readers often forget about it, but it’s a diegetic appendix and radically alters the ending.

      Margaret Atwood used the same technique in Handmaid's Tale

          So did Tolkien in return of the king (to extremely different effect): the appendices, and the rest of the book, are dietetically written by Frodo (and edited by Sam)

          Didn't Jack London do it first in the footnotes for _The Iron Heel_?

          Long ago, @pigironjoe would have known the answer to this question.

          Atwood takes it to the next level by the afterword acknowledging the society "Offred" existed in, while criticising and ultimately rejecting the text as being "sensational fiction". "Offred" is erased as a person even in the post gilead future.

          While I'm glad to not exist in a pre, existing, or post gilead society, I do feel somewhat saddened that the price for our liberty is the loss of the recording of "Twisted sister at Carnegie hall". 😆@deesnider
