Surrender

I don’t often give up on a book but I’m not going to finish this. Almost 1000 pages of small type is daunting enough but it’s stream of consciousness stuff and most of it is one sentence. Colons and semicolons but no paragraphs and no chapters. I said to Mr EAnn I could commit to 200 pages but not 1000.
So off I went to Wikipedia to learn more and there was a snippet from a review which didn’t question the originality or it’s brilliance but said it could have done all that in 25% of the length. :-)
It was shortlisted for last years Booker
