Perhaps the most interesting part about Ernst’s collage-novel is that the pages don’t seem to be collages at all. When I think of a collage, I think of the projects we did in middle school, in which we cut and glued magazine pictures to a piece of construction paper. Ernst’s collages are seamless; it looks as if he drew everything. Maybe this is due to the fact that this is a copy and not his original work, but I am still floored by the time and precision it must’ve taken to put together collages like that.
