The fragmentation of Simon\u27s narrative makes the reader rely on the novels\u27 imagery to establish a cohesiveness. Simon describes the formation of the image as a process akin to photographic development. For Simon, the image is, primarily, the physical impression of light particles. This first step leads to a comparison between the impressions of the form projected onto a screen (which is similar to a retina) and those evoked in memory by the recollection of an event. This exegesis of the mechanism of imagery in the Simonian text leads to several observations concerning parameters characteristic of this writing. The structure appears in the Simonian narrative under the guise of descriptions of geometric shapes, paintings, or, as previously mentioned, photographs. The structure a...
