One quality of a good artist, I think, is the ability to recognize the elements of his artform that he's weakest at and then construct his style so that he doesn't have to face them... or so that they become positive features of his style. Boully's texts tend to be less plot-driven (though the footnotes certainly do produce a plot -- a change in a relationship and a character -- as the pages turn) and more interested in the accrual and juxtaposition of references, externalia, letters, dream images. These details' relationships grow and change, producing a plot more intricate and emotionally engaging than any actions performed by characters could, which is why she's wise for composing the book entirely of footnotes. The character-focused moments often seem either expected (no question that a character like X would do Y, so no surprise) or soppy-sentimental in vocabulary and tone,* so the absence of the novel's text is an excellent idea: it allows Boully not only to write a novel without having to present and explore characters in the conventional way, but it also gives her the opportunity to leave only bits and pieces of them, which minimizes sentiment. Whatever my issue with the sentimentality of some of the footnotes, I'm so impressed by Boully -- she makes a mean novel out of juxtaposition, addition and palimpsest, better than a lot of character-driven stuff I've read. This is not just a cute trick, a book made entirely out of footnotes; it's a rich and fun book made out of footnotes. * This could also be the result of the character being a young woman in love with a mentor, who may be more inclined toward that kind of blahblah, but it still doesn't make for a character I wanted to explore more deeply or think about once the book was closed.
