Metaliterature

What is "Metaliterature"? It is literature about literature, in this case, views, reviews, and thoughts provoked by stuff I've read, illuminated by the bin fire that is my life. I'm hoping this might be a chronicle of the brain of a life-long reader as guided by intertextual coincidence. If you like what you read, read what I like. Currently exiled to the liminal geographical space between Bridgend and Tondu. I am an Amazon Associate and earn (very little) from qualifying purchases.
