I'm not sure whether it's something I actually read, something I heard about somewhere, or something I imagined, but it was a short story consisting of two 'chapters', with chapter 2 being absolutely identical to chapter 1. However, having already read chapter 1 the meaning of everything in chapter 2 was completely different.

I thought perhaps it was by Gabriel Garcia Marquez, Maria Vargas Llosa, Italo Calvino, or somebody like that, but can't find anything of theirs that fits the bill.

Any ideas ?

Don't know, but it sounds intriguing. I would like to read it if you find out.

I've been racking my brains to try and think what the story was about, but no luck. The nearest thing that comes to mind is the movie The Sixth Sense.

Except that with the Sixth Sense you knew you had to re-watch the whole movie, whereas with the short story you didn't realize that chapter 2 was the same as chapter 1 until you were some way into it and suddenly thought, "hang on a mo', I've read this before..."
