The Castle of Crossed Destinies, by Italo Calvino
Species of Spaces and Other Pieces, by Georges Perec
For Your Eyes Only, by Joanne Rocklin
I am intrigued and impressed by Smith's choice to write this as a journal. Unlike some journals, I do not feel that my knowledge of characters is severely limited because of the narrator; rather, I think that Cassandra/Smith's use of flashbacks helps provide rounded insight into each person.
Through the novel, as Cassandra was reflecting on her writing, I frequently found myself asking the same questions of my own writing as she did of hers. I also have similar frustrations, weaknesses, and revelations with my writing as she did with hers. As writers, what can we learn about our own writing from reading meta-writing?
