This book critically engages with the visual appearance of prose
fiction where it is manipulated by authors, from alterations in
typography to the deconstruction of the physical form of the book.
It reappraises the range of effects it is possible to create
through the use of graphic devices and explores why literary
criticism has dismissed such features as either unreadable
experimental gimmicks or, more recently, as examples of the worst
kind of postmodern decadence.
Through the examination of problematical texts which utilize the
graphic surface in innovative and unusual ways, including Samuel
Beckett's" Watt," B.S. Johnson's "Albert Angelo," Christine
Brooke-Rose's "Thru" and Alasdair Gray's "Lanark," this book
demonstrates that an awareness of the graphic surface can make
significant contributions to interpretation.
