Suppose a Sentence by Brian Dillon

4.0

This is as smart, astute, attentive and knowledgeable as one could wish for, but I discovered in reading it that I am not the target audience: I don't believe that the sentence is where the real work of a novel takes place. There's a reason why the structural edit comes before the copy edit. And many very good novels barely contain a sentence of the kind baroquely anatomised here: Philip K Dick springs to mind.
