the book i am referring to, i was told about many years ago, i am looking for the name, i was told the entire book was written with double meanings, every sentence apparently.
that's all i know, seeing as i can't find any reference to this or any type of book like it, i am presuming it would be memorable and one of you have read it.
anyone know what it is?Name of a book of double meanings?
Giles Goat-Boy, by John Barth; or
The Sot Weed Factor, by John Barth
Mostly Giles Goat-Boy. Unbelievable the layers of double and triple meanings in this book. Is it a send up of Oedipus Rex? A send-up of MacBeth? A send-up of the Passion Play? It's very richly textured and subtle.
The Sot-Weed Factor, in its own way, seems to be a send-up of Candide, by Voltaire. Another masterpiece.
