Not sure if there is already a thread like this, but what cases do you know of "serious" (i.e. published, lauded and/or well-known authors) doing work that centers around some concept that is pertinent to this site, and could even seem to be written by a member?

Last week I purchased, among other things, Salman Rushdie's The Satanic Verses, centered around two characters who each see themselves turned into incarnations of the archangel Gabriel and a devil respectively. I still have not read it and I'm not expecting the sort of approach this site takes to transformations, but the topic does seem interesting regardless.

More accordingly with the site's approach to processes, however, is Charles Bukowski's short story "Six Inches", about a man who is shrunk down by his witch girlfriend. You can read it here: http://theguimartinez.com/charles-bukowski-six-inches/

So what other cases come to your mind? Which ones can you recommend?
