I often think that TRP's fictions are much more
like poetry than, usually, novels....
All that layering of langage; the (often-)encoded meaning.
As Charles Olson once wrote: Poetry is compacted energy of language...
'symbolic form'...
Like the Cantos. Like The Wasteland with elaborate extended metaphoric scenes.
But I know I am mostly speaking metaphorically myself here.
