I’m Hemingway in comparison!

My crazy sentences seem polite and restrained in comparison with this:

The new owner of the record for the longest sentence in published literature is Mathias Enard for his 517-page French novel “Zone.” In fact, the entire novel, except for a few pages of flashbacks, is made up of a single 150,000-word sentence.

And all this time I thought Leonid Tsypkin was the guy to beat.

Okay, I’m off to remove the full-stop key from my keyboard now. I shall let you know how it goes.
