I just read a very interesting article by Jonathan Lethem called The Ecstasy of Influence (www.harpers.org/TheEcstacyOfInfluence.html) about, among other things, the fine line between being influenced by and plagiarizing your artistic forbears. In passing, he mentions "Eduardo Paolozzi's collage-novel Kex, cobbled from crime novels and newspaper clippings." Has anyone read Kex? What's it like? Are they American crime novels? Are the sources recognizable?
