Djinn

I reread Robbe-Grillet's Djinn, a first class work of metafiction, which is to say a novel about the false, the artificial, the misleading, the phony, the bogus, the specious, which is to say fiction itself. This is the subject matter. It's a novel about fiction. Entrancing. The form is the content, as in the case of music. Highly recommended.

No problem. Your boxcutter piece calls to mind Bernhard's WOODCUTTERS, speaking just of the titles, for I haven't read WOODCUTTERS but it is a favorite of Tsipi Keller and she has perfect taste.
