Abstract writing (or "post-narrative" writing) does not invite interpretation in any conventional sense. There is no hidden message, no allegorical structure, no encrypted ideology waiting to be decoded or explained. Instead of asking, “What does this work mean?” one is forced to confront a more perplexing question: “What is this?”
Post-narrative writing invites inscrutability and wallows in obscurantism. In a world of "non-things," inscrutability mirrors (and/or) revels in our dystopian reality, depending on your perspective.
