Misplaced: why do disguise real locations? (2015)

"...apart from the forewent, for the most part, the fictitious place. ’s Dublin, ’s St Petersburg, ’s Vienna, ’s Berlin, ’s Manhattan, Céline’s Paris, ’s were almost overwhelmingly realistic. Was this a reaction to the quaintness of Little Baddington, Glimmerglass Lake, Dotheboys Hall, Pemberley, Tillietudlem and Langdirdum?"

Contrast the average 15-20 word sentence with Faulkner's epic 1,288-word sentence from the book "Absalom, Absalom!" it's a run-on sentence marvel!

Sentence decoded with via {udpipe} R package to get the universal parts-of-speech tags.

Ultimately, I thought it was an interesting way to illustrate the cognitive load that a reader might deal with trying to comprehend such a large sentence.

"Non si fruga nella polvere", William Faulkner, Biblioteca Adelphi, Ed.2022.

Con questo libro è stata guerra fin dalle prime pagine.
Sono riuscito a immergermi nello stile di scrittura solo a sprazzi, e non ho apprezzato le "conclusioni" dell'autore.

@ruralgloom I heard a sad story about . A family member recounted their relative studied at with Faulkner, sending him a manuscript to review, and Faulkner told him it was the worst he had ever read or seen and to never write again. The lad obeyed. Sounds like a terrible collision of (perhaps) two clinically depressed folks.

I wonder how Flannery would have handled. I can’t think of right wing expressions of religiosity without her “church of Christ without Christ”.

Will you see anything cuter today than a grandmother in a print t-shirt serving portions of a massive to an American while a bust of wearing a red velvet fedora looks on?

I THINK NOT!

@manderson
could write some real run-ons when he wanted to
I think he's remembered for his short sentences because those tend to be where he locates a lot of his real punch
by contrast could be real laconic when he wanted to, but it's in his run-ons that he tends to put his real effect
I can't recall favouring either. It's striking the curves are all so similar
