Erasures. If one can think of writing as performance art, the best example of the genre might be Jonathan Safran Foer’s Tree of Codes. The printers of this book show their skill in producing the book, as every page is full of die cut openings where text was removed. What remains is a pain to read, and reveals a story within the story. This is the oddest book I’ve read in a long time, and I admit that I just didn’t get it. Happily, the reading experience was fairly brief. If you’re looking for an unusual reading experience, consider this strange book. Rating: One-star (Read only if your interest is strong)
