This essay examines the future of literature in an age of semiotic overload. By discussing various works and authors, the essay suggests that a dialectic between textual evasion and the intertextual productivity of commentary, translation, and generative AI may provide a way forward.

Coetzee's El Polaco, Mohamed Mbougar Sarr's La plus secrete memoire des hommes and Zoe Wicomb's Still Life, this essay suggests that a dialectic between textual evasion and the intertextual productivity of commentary, translation and generative AI might show the way forward.
