Yes, your comment was very helpful, and I'll plan to look for old Mythprints in the library next week. If I find it I can send you a scan if you want one.
Pale Fire the novel contains the poem "Pale Fire."
And I once did a list of titles like Gene Wolf's "The Island of Doctor Death and Other Stories" and Other Stories.
I can't remember if the fictional memoir in The Swimming Pool Library is called that or not. Roth's Operation Shylock might barely count as a limiting case? In the novel "Roth" says he is compelled by CIA to post a paratextual disclaimer that it's fiction at the end. And indeed there is such a disclaimer. If there weren't, its "logical status [as] fictional discourse" (the title of an essay by John Searle) would be untroubled.
