At-Swim-Two-Birds

This novel seemed to me that it is more about the process of writting a story than about the actually story itself. You seem to get the feeling that the narrator is trying to figure out what kind of author he wants to be or that he is inexperienced because he never really completes a story.  It has humor built into the story, I also find it funny how the characters in the novel don't like to be controlled and they try to rebel against their creator.
