I like it anyway, and I'm glad you had fun Gwen.

I thought I remembered reading somewhere about a whole NOVEL that was all one long sentence. So I googled it, and it turns out there have been several. I've read some of these authors but not these works. They seem like the usual suspects for pushing the boundaries of prose; although I'm surprised that Italo Calvino never gave it a shot. I'm just glad they did it so I don't have to. All the following is from a site called TIMES NOW; It's late & I'm too tired to paraphrase; if they complain I'll take this down...
~hugs, Ronni.

The Last Wolf by László Krasznahorkai
Krasznahorkai is a master of long, flowing prose, and in 'The Last Wolf', he pushes the boundaries of narrative style. This novella is composed of a single, winding sentence that spans the entire book. The story follows a philosopher who is tasked with recounting the extinction of the last wolf in a small Spanish town. His thoughts, ramblings, and existential musings blend into one another, creating a seamless and hypnotic flow of words. As with many of Krasznahorkai’s works, the lack of punctuation makes for a dense and challenging read, but it also immerses readers fully in the character’s mind and emotions. This continuous stream of consciousness feels almost like being pulled into a dream, where time and structure lose meaning.

The Autumn of the Patriarch by Gabriel García Márquez
Nobel Prize winner Gabriel García Márquez, famous for his magical realism, wrote 'The Autumn of the Patriarch' in a series of long sentences, some of which span entire chapters. The novel tells the story of a dictator’s final days, weaving a surreal and nightmarish tale of power, isolation, and decay. The long sentences, filled with dense imagery and metaphors, create a sense of entrapment that mirrors the dictator’s psychological state. The lack of full stops gives the novel a breathless, suffocating feeling, immersing readers in the chaotic mind of the protagonist. García Márquez’s prose is lush and poetic, making this a challenging yet rewarding read for those who can navigate the labyrinthine structure.

Solar Bones by Mike McCormack
'Solar Bones', which won the 2016 Goldsmiths Prize, tells the story of Marcus Conway, an Irish engineer reflecting on his life and the world around him. What sets this novel apart is that it is written in a single sentence, creating a stream-of-consciousness narrative that mirrors Marcus’s wandering thoughts. The absence of full stops and traditional structure gives the novel an uninterrupted, almost meditative flow, making readers feel like they are listening to Marcus think in real time. The novel touches on themes of life, death, family, and the passage of time, all while maintaining an unbroken rhythm. It’s a masterclass in style and storytelling, proving that a novel can be both experimental and deeply emotional.

The Infinite Plan by Isabel Allende
In 'The Infinite Plan', Isabel Allende tells the story of a boy named Alexander, who navigates the complexities of life through a single, continuous sentence that spans the narrative. The novel explores themes of family, identity, and the pursuit of happiness, all while reflecting on the passage of time. Allende's prose flows effortlessly, drawing readers into Alexander's journey from childhood to adulthood, filled with dreams, challenges, and discoveries. The lack of traditional punctuation enhances the immersive experience, allowing readers to feel as though they are part of Alexander's unfolding life. Through this experimental style, Allende masterfully captures the essence of human experience, making The Infinite Plan a captivating read that resonates with readers on multiple levels.

Zone by Mathias Énard
'Zone' is a sprawling novel set over the course of a single train journey, written entirely as one long sentence. The protagonist, a former intelligence agent, is traveling from Milan to Rome, reflecting on his past experiences in war-torn regions of the Middle East and Europe. The novel weaves together memories, historical events, and personal trauma, creating a dense and multi-layered narrative. The single-sentence structure mirrors the protagonist’s unrelenting stream of consciousness, as his thoughts shift between past and present, fact and fiction. The lack of punctuation gives the novel a frenetic, almost breathless quality, perfectly capturing the inner turmoil of the protagonist as he grapples with his past. Despite its challenging form, Zone is a powerful and thought-provoking exploration of violence, memory, and the human condition.
