a rather surreal account of a man's travels, through ten incarnations of plot, style, author, and ambience.

When I started this book, I hated it! But, I read it, for class - and in the end of it realized what a literary treat it was. Never had I felt so much to throw a book across the room, and never so relieved that I could without caring if I damaged the book. Just remember, it's not about the journey, as much as the experience you take along the way. A must read for students entering into college - excellent discussion starter.
