Willie Masters' Lonesome Wife (1968) is novel by William H. Gass. It is a novel illustrated with photographs and typographical constructs intended to help readers free themselves from the linear conventions of narrative.
- "Willie Masters’ Lonesome Wife was an entirely new way for a work of fiction to look. Its photographs were credited to Burton L. Rudman and its design to Lawrence Levy. Whatever precedent Gass, Rudman and Levy had in mind, if any, it would not have been found on the fiction shelves of the library. At the time, in fact, there were only a few examples of photographically-embedded fiction widely known in the United States and they were by Wright Morris (1910-1998)." [1]
