Abstract
Johnson is concerned with the contradictions of writing. He attempts to communicate and entertain truthfully. His project was intimately concerned with the problems of mimesis and self-reflexivity. This leads to a series of contradictions where fiction and reality meet that he, and his readers, find difficult to solve. Through his career Johnson developed a layered style using voices and techniques that are more difficult than usual to isolate. By using ideas of topology and interstice, this study explores these different layers.
