Its representation of publishing is important and timely.Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas and his family sold $133,000 worth of real estate properties to conservative billionaire (and collector of Nazi memorabilia) Harlan Crow - without disclosing the transaction as required by federal ethics laws, according to ProPublica. The books evoke the metafictional ideas and themes of writers such as John Barth and Italo Calvino, but deploy them in order to examine the idea of the author and the text in a time when the value of art can be quantified by an author’s Amazon rank.
