An incredible, audacious novel. A satire centred on the premise: what is literary and linguistic theory did actually have an effect in the real world??!! Frequently laugh out loud funny as it skewers the pretensions of 70s French poststructuralism and simultaneously illustrates theories in action through the narrative. And is the ending a direct reference to Under the Volcano (which is directly referred to earlier)?
