hyper reality isn't realer than real
it's just a map (vs territory)
so any novel, esp a historical novel will confuse some people thinking it's territory when it's just words
BM is not a textbook definition of hyper-reality
in fact a surprising amount of the book isn't invented
it's encrusted with obsolete language (which I enjoyed hunting down)
but that encrustation was to obscure the fact that so much of it was lifted from chamberlain
which is something that will destroy the book's reputation over time
the book isn't notably violent, you're parroting the scam artist named harold bloom (even if you don't know it (he wrote the introduction to the ml version))

Can someone critique the first few pages of my postmodern doorstopper? I'm struggling to find the motivation to finish it. I need to know if it is entertaining.
