Walter Abish (1931-) is a prolific American novelist and poet who is interested in the unique styles of writing, notably in his collage novels. He uses the technique of collage in his volume 99: The New Meaning; it contains What Else and Skin Deep. It takes ninety-nine passages from ninety-nine different books; all their authors are European. He does not give any citation for any of the passages; above each passage, the exact words count is written. Picasso and Barque are the first fine artists to put the visual collage term into light by making pictorial compositions that depend on the cutting and pasting of pieces of wallpaper, sand, pins and bottles. The Avant-grade writers made the first attempt to write a verbal collage version; their strategy was to imitate the visual collage. This study proves that both What Else and Skin Deep < /em> are verbal collages.
