Initially a difficult text, the 77 stories opens up under a deconstructivist scrutiny. This Post‐Modernist text is an exemplar of absences: nothing is stable or constant, not even the clown. Due to the self‐reference of the récit, anything or anybody can change into any other element or entity while all things are equally big/small: there is no unity or centre, thus the lack of “presence”. Hierarchical oppositions contradict each other and there is no “coherent logic”: “death” entails the continuation of “life” and “born x unborn” leads a parallel existence in the text. Through the “signature” in the text and by means of “invagination” the “parergon” becomes part of the “ergon” which admirably demonstrates “grafts” and “dissemination”. Everything in the text exists solely in the sense of transition and change, equality and transferability; thus of transformation and transmutation
