a central feature of nonrational poetry missed by most readers is that each
disjunction is part of another chain of signifiers disallowing closure. In
describing Proust he comes up with the following list of strategies: we are
struck by the fact that all the parts are produced as asymmetrical sections,
paths that suddenly come to an end, hermetically sealed boxes, noncommunicating
vessels, watertight com- / partments, in which there are gaps between things
that are contiguous, gaps that are affirmations, pieces of a puzzle belonging
not to any one puzzle but to many, pieces assembled by forcing them into a
certain place where they may or may not belong, their unmatched edges violently
bent out of shape, forcibly made to fit together, to interlock, with a number of
pieces always left over (Deleuze & Guattari 42-3).

Also
The strength of Anglo-american literature for Deleuze is rather that it rejects
the idea of the book as a representation of reality, and all of the adjacent
problems with the dogmatic image of literature, and presents the book as a
machine, as something which does things, rather than signifying.
