I enjoyed this fascinating little book, and plan to use it as reference in my own experimentation with writing.

I would have preferred more reference to DFW than to Barth, since I am an enormous fan of the former, and also believe he was more of an experimentalist, although ultimately more concerned with affect than with anything else (rightly).
