This Is Not A Novel And Other Novels by David Markson

A tightly compressed, fragmentary, metafictional work made of laconic, aphoristic paragraphs that abandon conventional plot and character in favor of associative lists, literary anecdotes, and terse reminiscences about artists, illness, and death. Through mordant observations, quotations, and personal asides, it accumulates an elegiac, solitary meditation on aging, creativity, reading, and the limits of narrative.
