iirc some of the Beats explored typography in a similar way, mostly in poetry and not prose, though.eleventhvolume said:After reading it, I wondered whether there were other books that explored the fictive/textural/typographical thing like that, but haven't encountered any yet. There's the early 20th cent. French (?) art exploration of text and form which, as I'm sure you can see from my feeble attempts to describe, I'm 99% ignorant of, but other than that I'd be very interested to learn of similar endeavours.

arcaNa said:not much to do with the original issue whatsoever,
but does anyone remember, some years ago,
some sort of novelty "re-structured version" of a (fake or real) victorian "novel"?
(i can't remember what it was called, something starting with an h?)
