Galaxies by Barry N. Malzberg
The book is a metafictional narrative that follows the journey of a female astronaut as part of a vast, ill-fated interstellar mission to explore the galaxy. As she grapples with the psychological and existential challenges of space travel, the story delves into themes of isolation, the nature of reality, and the human condition. The narrative structure is unconventional, blending elements of science fiction with introspective commentary, and often blurring the lines between the protagonist's experiences and the author's own reflections on the genre and the act of writing itself.
