Christian Oster's Topological Narratives: Volley Ball and l'Aventure
Christian Oster has published two narratives, Volley Ball and l'Aventure, in which characters are assigned purely random identities that correspond to a topological device. They constantly move from place to place, displacing their boredom and the narrative itself, awaiting the next move as if the story's architecture adopted the configuration of hopscotch. In l'Aventure, the narrative space is thin enough to fit between the separation of the first name Liz from its romanized spelling Lise.
