Click here for my (very incomplete) list of mathematical fiction which was compiled initially for the BSHM Mathematics and Fiction conference in Oxford in 2009 and has most recently been updated in November 2011.

See also my article 'From Sylvia Plath's The bell jar to the Bad Sex Award: a partial account of the uses  of mathematics in fiction', BSHM Bulletin: Journal of the British Society for the History of Mathematics, 25 (2010): 2, 58 - 66. 

My talk at the LKL Maths-Art Seminar in October 2010, "From Tristram Shandy to Bad Sex: Some Uses of Mathematics in Fiction" can be watched on Youtube.

Please let me know of any omissions (A.Mann@gre.ac.uk). Alex Kasman maintains a more comprehensive list of mathematical fiction.
