OK so first things first the orienting information
I'm going to recap this thing because I assume y'all don't have copies in front of you, and need it spelled out
So the very first thing a reader sees is the title, "A preliminary dictionary of Smog"
And then glancing down the first page, you see that it comprises a bunch of fragments, each with a small bolded single-word header in alphabetical order, e.g. "Acid," "Active," "Album," "Ally," "Alone," and "Anxiety" make up the first page
And if you look at the entries, they're first-person, they feel like a sort of surrealized autofiction at first blow. So this is a dictionary built out of a diary. That's a bit interesting isn't it. A systematization of personal experience
