Today, Nerve has an interview with Rawle, in which he details the writing process: "I might have had a sentence like, 'She stormed out of the room,' which then became, 'Red rage rose within her like the mercury in a toffee thermometer until she reached the boiling point of fudge.'... It forced me to be more inventive in the way I constructed sentences." And although the book it's a collage made with scissors and glue, the novel is still a cohesive story. "With the editing process, we had to be as ruthless as you would be with a straight novel. My editor would say, "We should cut chapter thirteen," and I'd have to go, "Okay. Well, that took eight months to make, but that's fine." [Nerve]

Woman's World, a novel by Graham Rawle, was "painstakingly assembled from 40,000 fragments of text snipped from women's magazines." Rawle is a writer and collage artist who used publications from the 1960s — plus scissors and glue — to create his text. It has to be seen to be believed — click the picture to see an example of what you're looking at while reading this tome. [GrahamRawle.com, Amazon]
