So, I finished this book a long time ago, but I've been putting off posting about it.
Well, that was weird.
Around the halfway point, I said something similar about it being weird. It got weirder. Much wierder.
I found that this book was a journey in many, many ways.
It was a journey for the main character, going through the traumatic experience of realizing that he is but a character in a story, with no control over his actions, to realizing the power that only he holds over himself.
It was a journey for the main character in that he and the narrator travel quite a ways in their attempts to complete the quest of killing the author.
It was a journey for the author, as he writes the narrator and main character taking a trip into his subconscious, and examining with a magnifying glass the many influences that come together and make the individual that is David Dill, artist, writer, and person.
Overall, the book was a hilarious trip that takes you from meta to super-meta to further levels of meta that have yet to be named. Well done, Mr. Dill.
I'm actually really happy that Mr. Dill's book is a funny book that seems to be fun to read. It does seem like a very strange concept that he wrote about, and I am interested in how the main character tries to kill Mr. Dill, and now I want to read this book/
