Last night I finished a funhouse mirror of a book, C.D. Rose's 'Who's Who When Everyone is Someone Else', which could almost be a cross between Italo Calvino and Umberto Eco's 'Foucault's Pendulum' and is a comic metafiction of literary games.

The narrator is not worlds away from the author and they share a first book, 'The Biographical Dictionary of Literary Failure'. By the end I felt like I had just stepped off a fast, but exhilarating merry-go-round.
