What's it all about, GR? Well, we might first ask ourselves
what it is. Can we agree that it's a novel? Can we agree
that it's fiction? And so on...
Eventually, we will begin to disagree about genre, right?
Clearly GR is a unique project. However, if all works of art
are considered only as unique projects, no science of them
is possible. So, how can we begin to order projects like GR,
Joyce's FW, Dante's DC, Whitman's Song OF Myself, Swifts GT,
Melville's MD, Cervantes' Don Quijote's, etc.?

cute meet."
