'Sheckels suggests that John Marsden's popular, multiple award-winning "Tomorrow" series of seven books–primarily but certainly not exclusively for young readers–has this very Escher-like quality. They possess a double-voicedness much in the spirit of what Bakhtin suggests in his study of Dostoevsky, offering a–much in John Schilb's or Stanley Fish's terms–resisting reading and then, perhaps, a disconcerting rhetorical flip back upon itself. The texts then are rhetorically interesting, but so is the way in which the texts serve as an example of what Bakhtin implies about double-voicing but perhaps fails to make sufficiently clear because of his tendency to list and offer misleading generalizations.'
