Creating worlds, the first sentence boasts, is the easiest thing in the world; you shake them out of your sleeve. It is a bluff. The narrator, normally the active ruler of the tale who hands out the roles, becomes a sad and helpless clown, one of the many defenceless figures who are given an invented past and made to take part in future events. The novel is about the impossibility of storytelling, the end of plot and the end of fiction.
