I think I need to sit and think this one over; a lot of it surely went over my head on the first read. 

It's a frame narrative, an exploration of what it means to be a reader and an author, but it's also more than that. It's dense, and strange, and some of it did not age so well, but still it made me think - and ultimately, what else is art for, if not to make its audience think?
