"The Last Messages"
http://sycamorereview.com/blog/2007/1/25/a-text-message-novel.html
"Finnish author Hannu Luntiala has unleashed a new twist on the epistolary
form: a novel whose narrative consists entirely of cell phone text
messages. The Last Messages uses 1000 text messages to tell the story of a
Finnish executive who quits his job to travel the world, using his phone to
communicate with friends and relatives at home."
