Has there ever been a book about a protagonist whose tale is told only through interactions with other people he mets at the end of chapters, with each chapter telling the story of one of these people ? For instance a chapter would go through the main events of person A's life up until person A meets the protagonist. Knowing about Person A's life gives the reader the point of view of person A and why person A would interact with the protagonist the way person A does.

Sounds a bit like medieval station drama, except that everything in them is told through the hero perspective so it's quite rigid.

Strindberg has some plays that were built with a similar structure and do away with the outdated hero-perspective only thing (To Damascus, A Dream Play, Lucky Peter's Travels I think). Expressionist drama expanded upon these experimental plays also.

For more about station drama: check Peter Szondi's "Theory of the Modern Drama: A Critical Edition"

Summertime by JM Coetzee.

The story of a fictional version of John Coetzee is told as a series of interviews with coworkers, relatives gfs, etc.

It wasn't just percival. Everything we knew about each of the characters was through the lens of another.

Is there supposed to be a difference between these pictures?

Have you ever watched Citizen Kane?

Winesburg, Ohio is very close to what you're looking for. Made up of small stories that each concern a different person in the town but they each have a connection at some point to the "protagonist", like he'll get mentioned offhandedly or maybe they meet with him briefly.

The idea is there's a minor difference between the two which allows you to look at it a certain way to combine the image and have a 3d ass poking out at you.
I have never gotten it to work. and that one's too small anyway.
