It<br>reflects on this by resorting to a metaphor for alienation that has become topical: the<br>glass wall. The novel's innovative literary effort is that it takes this metaphor literally in<br>the form of a wall that suddenly appears and extends endlessly into the world. This<br>literalization of the metaphor, however, does not result in overcoming alienation in<br>the sense of liberating the nameless main character. Rather, it is part of a genuinely<br>creative procedure – a procedure that Deleuze and Guattari, following Franz Kafka, call<br>“way out”. And a procedure for which the protagonist must pay the price of an<br>inescapable ambivalence.</p> ER -
