With the next section of the "corrected" novel our narrator is reading we have a break in pattern; precisely, by a connection with the previous story in the book. The reason for feeling the novel was improperly printed was the entrance of completely different characters, and yet we find that these two chapters do continue a moving story.
Then we get to Chapter 4 of the book (we are holding physically) and we meet the Other Reader, Ludmilla, and her sister, Lotaria who seem to be at odds about most things, and in particular, the validity of the book in question.
Lots of stories going on here. Lots of disconnected connections. Links?
