Collage novel is used by different writers and readers to describe three different kinds of novel: 1) a form of artist's book approaching closely the graphic novel; 2) a literary novel that approaches "collage" metaphorically, juxtaposing different modes of original writing; and 3) a novel that approaches collage literally, incorporating found language and possibly combining other modes of original writing.
