TEORIA DA CONSPIRAÇÃO (XIII)
(join the dots)



"There is no clear beginning or end to the book [The Atrocity Exhibition], and it does not follow any of the conventional novelistic standards: the protagonist (such as he is) changes name with each chapter/story (Talbert, Traven, Travis, Talbot, etc), just as his role and his visions of the world around him seems to change constantly. (Ballard explains in the 1990 annotated edition that the character's name was inspired by reclusive novelist B. Traven, whose identity is still not certainly known)".
