Using several notes that the French artist Marcel Duchamp wrote as complements to his artwork The Large Glass as a springboard, this work of progressive literature eschews many of the familiar tropes associated with a novel, not least among them characters, a plot, and the notion of referentiality. In their place, Garc???a Vega chooses instead to present pieces of visual poetry, stage directions, lists, incomplete dialogs, instructions to nonexistent games, dream fragments--in short, a splintered collection of half-finished thoughts and unanswered questions that derives meaning chiefly from its very singularity. Aficionados and students of avant-garde literature--particularly Latin American literature--will be drawn to this truly unique creation. Usando como punto de partida algunas notas tomadas por el artista franc???s Marcel Duchamp para la creaci???n de su obra El gran vidrio , esta obra de literatura progresiva se abstiene de muchos de los tropos familiares normalmente asociados con la novela, incluyendo los personajes, el argumento y la noci???n de la referencialidad. En su lugar, Garc???a Vega elige presentar elementos de la poes???a visual, didascalias, listados, di???logos inconclusos, instrucciones para juegos que no existen, fragmentos de sue???os--es decir, una colecci???n astillada de pensamientos incompletos y preguntas sin respuestas que deriva el sentido principalmente de su propia singularidad. Los aficionados y estudiantes de la literatura vanguardista--particularmente la literatura latinoamericana--ser???n atra???dos por esta creaci???n ???nica.
