A trite story told over and over in crazy ways

I read this playful little volume in English when I was still in school and liked it without completely understanding what was happening in each chapter. In 2013 I gave it a four out of five rating on Goodreads. I located this again just now on the Internet Archive and read it all in a sitting. Having wikipedia handy is quite a help working out what was happening in some cases. It really is a kaleidoscope of styles, divorced from meaning to make its points clearer. in the intervening years I think we might come up with another 99 styles to fracture the pointless tale, easily, and perhaps we ought to.
