The Raw Shark Texts by Steven Hall


I'll start with this one because I think it's the most literal example of what I'm trying to achive. I am intrugued by the following quotes from the novel:
"thought ... congealed" (p.4)
"fluid liquid concept ... waves of association and history." (p.59)
"stillness is an idea, a dream" (p.25)

For The Raw Shark Texts, I want to create something edible that resembles the idea of a cake, rather than a cake itself. In other words, I'll be 'baking' a purely conceptual cake. I'll post my interpretive recipe at the end of the month.

Read, Bake, Eat along with me!
