Nocilla Dream / Nocilla Experience / Nocilla Lab

The Nocilla Trilogy

Autofiction, tell me its autofiction, please be autofiction. Individually these are very interesting short story collections, but together they tell a convoluted, side-stepping, outrageously confusing half-story. I really enjoyed Experience and Dream just lazing around one page/chapter at a time. Lab took me by surprise (the first half of the book is one sentence) and grew into something really cool in the end. I think this is going to last the test of time. It certainly is going to stick with me forever. Literary montages, a lil comic strip, repeating sentences. I wonder if Mallo got tired for Lab or had planned it all along.
