		Although Josipovici's early short fiction, which won him the Somerset Maugham Award in 1975, is technically extremely versatile and innovative, and therefore answers to the label from a formal perspective, the author's later fiction no longer obtrudes formal solicisms on the reader and should therefore be exempted from this type of criticism.
		Mobius, who is a great philosopher, is peeling off layer after layer of argument to arrive at the empty centre of truth, whereas the narrator agonizes over the inability to say anything worthwhile until he hits upon the story of this impossibility exemplified by Mobius.
		After this first volume of stories, which made Josipovici into an immediate celebrity (especially after the Somerset Maugham Award was withdrawn on account of his lack of a British passport at birth), Josipovici continued to write short fiction into the 1980s, producing a final collection called In the Fertile Land in 1987.
