One of the taken for granted assumptions in our culture is the mutual shunning of our philosophical and literary cultures. Hence the body of Nietzsche's texts is sundered and dismembered because these texts are philosophical and poetic.
There is little point in approaching these texts asking: 'are they philosophy or are they literature'?
They are both and so something different.
