Norma Cole, un petit a & a (Format Americain, 2005). 27 pages.

I'm not sure where I got this. I was moving my newspaper pile (a three month stack of Oakland Tribunes for work's sake, and no small shakes of a stack) from one end of my writing studio to another and this came falling out the side.

It's in French, but as I've never read A Little A & A in English, it's all new to me (kind of like how I first read 1984 in French and can't shake it out my head that it is originally an English text).

Visually & verbally interesting. I would quote some passages, but as it's a translation of something available in English, I'll just search out the original text, then comment.
