When I read this book, my thoughts will appear in the comment stream below…
There is no rhyme or reason to this approx 20 page story nor to the design of the outside cover of this approx 60 page book housing the story, nor to why the same story seems to be printed twice, but in different languages, one version upside down to the other, or with the head of one version buried in the chest of the other.
But the language-acclimatising of both versions obviate meat, bone and blood selving. Thus creating annexes to each other without being annexes at all. A book that creates you in the interface.
Revelatory.
