A Collage novel is a form of artist's book approaching closely (but preceding) the Graphic novel. Images are selected from other publications and collaged together following a theme or narrative (not necessarily linear).
The dadaist and surrealist Max Ernst (1891-1976) is generally credited as the inventor of the collage novel. He published the collage novels "Les Malheurs des immortels" (1922, text by Paul Éluard), "La Femme 100 Têtes" (1929), "Rêve d'une petite fille..." (1930) and "Une Semaine de bonté" (1933-1934).
Recent examples include the 1970 novel A Humument by Tom Phillips and Graham Rawle's 2005 Woman's World.
