The insistent presence of staged situations of writing and reading in A Collapse of Horses draws the reader’s attention to the reflexive dimension of the work. Yet its aim does not seem to be so much to ascertain the writer’s mastery over the text as to plunge the reader into an experience of the instability of language. Hence the modality of writing that has been called narcissistic opens onto an existential, and even possibly ontological meditation, in praise of the wonders of language.
