There is a rather obscure book titled "If Hemingway Wrote Javascript" by Angus Croll https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/21487480-if-hemingway-wr... that contains literary reviews and source code in a variety of programming languages.

It's hard to describe this book; look at an excerpt at https://blog.honeypot.io/if-hemingway-wrote-javascript/. The source code actually runs and really does capture the writing style and idioms of the purported writers. I remember a factorial program by "Richard Feynman" that used numeric approximations that was just brilliant.
