Writing my proposal and reading this book has blown my mind.
My mind is blown. I don't think this is a good thing.
I think what interests me most about this book is its presentation--different colors, fonts, and even text placement. It is extremely self-reflexive, for as you're reading the book you're continually reminded that YOU ARE READING A BOOK. READ THE BOOK HERE AND HERE AND THIS WAY. The random arrangement of text also seemed (to me) to call attention to the book's authenticity--or lack thereof. Any book that features squares of text has got to be a work of fiction, EVEN if it has footnotes. So although the book claims to be nonfiction in a sense, it is always and strictly and continually fiction.
