authors under the influence

That's been the part I liked too, but I never went past page 120 I
admit! I didn't get it!

Is this the major pattern of the book? I was wondering what the
literary function of this part might be when I read it first.

And did I only miss to apply the "message" of this to all the other
stories in the book? That nearly everything in the post-postmodern era
is done out of "fucked up desire"?

Not that bad, this observation! But is there anything new in the message?
