Crazy Writers
11/27/2007
How’s this for sheer craziness? Nigel Tomm wrote a one-sentence book “The Blah Story, Volume 4.” The sentence is 469,375. which makes the book 732 pages. I suppose that is 732 pages of word after word after word. No dialog.
If you read it, where would you mark your spot to come back to later? I’m quite a reader, but even I am not going to read 732 pages at once. This book holds the record for the longest sentence in English literature. Perhaps the title tells us all we need to know.
I found this over at Write Stuff this morning. Here’s the press release.
