Well, The Manuscript could be said to be a Gothic novel, with ghosts featuring heavily, and I did once, as a child, apparently claim to have seen one sitting on the end of my bed, but that was likely the overactive imagination of a troubled little boy. Even a self-obsessed blabbermouth has his limits. As much as I want to engage and entertain the reader, to build a relationship with the reader, I don’t much fancy going there. So as I came to write about Jan Potocki’s The Manuscript Found in Saragossa I was understandably perturbed when I realised that group sex is so central to the novel’s plot. I tend to introduce these reviews with a story or anecdote inspired by the text in question, something, in most cases, from my own past or present life. ![]()
