The arrangement and presentation of text and graphics within the physical or digital pages of a specific experimental novel is characterized by unconventional typography, spatial arrangements, and deliberate fragmentation. Examples include inverted text, words placed at oblique angles, and substantial blank spaces, all contributing to a disorienting and multi-layered reading experience.
Such visual design is not merely aesthetic; it actively shapes the reader’s engagement and interpretation. By deviating from standard formatting, it mirrors the narrative’s themes of disorientation, psychological instability, and the labyrinthine nature of both the physical space and the human psyche. Furthermore, this approach challenges traditional reading conventions and encourages a more active, participatory role from the audience.
