I'm looking for something similar to Nocturnal Animals. Where the protagonist is either reading/writing another. It has to be interwoven into the story similar to Nocturnal Animals. I have already read Nabokov please don't recommend that.

Man you need to read the Infinite Story by Michael Ende.
The Best Fantasy book I have ever read. And Michael Ende counts as one of the best authores of the last century.

All the King's Men has something like this, except it's presented as a true story within the book. It's cool because it occurs precisely within the halfway point of the book.

Jesus Christ /lit/ has gone down. Read If on a Winter's Night a Traveler by Calvino and Don Quixote. All other recommendations are inferior
