Document Summary
The appearance of the text changes and is highly unconventional with changes in colour, footnotes, font, text under erasure, form following content, etc. The word house is presented in blue, not matter what. Endnotes and bibliographies appear in the middle of text, academic vs creative chapter settings and format, etc. This is related to form; it is how the text is organized. It is organized in a shifting and unclear way particularly to the regard of footnotes. The footnotes are a structural imperative for this text; without them they make so sense. Multiple fictional authors, and editors and at least three separate plots, 1 plot is explicitly false. From the opening leaf of the text, we see that the title page is split into two title pages. The fact that there are two or three narratives, possibly four, indicates that narrative is not something that is done just unusually, but it suggests that narrative is a theme.
