Notes

¹ As such, and with “footnoted” text traversing the page in various directions, the extracts presented in this article do not reproduce the novella visually. Rather, they are laid out in such a way as to allow ease of reading here.

² My use of Y within quotations from Kapow! is a close visual rendering of the actual symbol used to indicate the bifurcated footnotes in Kapow! These essentially occur in Kapow! as a footnote marker in place of the numerical footnote system that one might be more accustomed to seeing in academic writing.

³ From the poem “And You Think You Could?” by Vladimir Mayakovsky.
