We had thought to control it by assigning it a meaning, and the entire art of the novel, in particular, seemed dedicated to this enterprise. "The same is true of the world around us. I've decided to share a few excerpts from various essays that I found particularly potent. While I'll be the first to admit that some of the essays contained within pale in comparison to others, overall it's a very worthwhile collection, particularly if one needs help articulating why experimental fiction is far more progressive (and not necessarily in the "grand narrative" sense) than (for want of a better word) "normal" fiction.
