mimesis

Issue 2 is also an exercise in mimesis.

The monotonous, methodical climbs in Death Stranding resemble their real-life counterparts in absolute mimesis, at least atmospherically.

Watson concludes that “this is mimesis at its finest”; the semicolons hold the prose “in suspension,” and the reader in suspense, waiting, along with King, for justice.

On the most basic level there is clearly a degree of mimesis at work.

I still wonder if this is a kind of clever mimesis.
