If The Age of Wire and String by Ben Marcus will not easily be tamed, it might be because in the bricolage of its very writing something keeps eluding its reading.

The text, in the fictionalizing of its very language, thus subsides in the very act, or the performance of its writing—a writing without destination, thus forcing the reader to reconsider most of the conventions on which reading is grounded. |
