I do not, however, on the current evidence, think there is reason or consensus to ''split'' the book into individual pages about specific narrative jokes. This seems more akin to ''[[The Book of the War (novel)|The Book of the War]]'', if you'll forgive the comparison; a tome with something of a frame narrative, and intended by its author to be perceived as one whole, but which is ''also'' made up of fragments which can be enjoyed individually. Perhaps I might have been tempted to rule differently a few months ago, for the sake of clearer citation: but now {{tlx|cite source}} allows us to cite those jokes which have individual titles more finely, ''without'' having to split the book itself up. Much preferable under the circumstances. | I do not, however, on the current evidence, think there is reason or consensus to ''split'' the book into individual pages about specific narrative jokes.
