/lit/ - Literature

I read the first couple of pages of this because it was getting spammed on /lit/ and it sounded unique.
I cannot fathom reading this entire book. Faulkner, Woolf and Joyce at their most ambiguous are more bearable. I'm already hearing "the fact that" repeated in my head over and over.

>be me
>read picrel
>thoughts now begin with the phrase 'the fact that'
It's so annoying. What can I read to counteract this?

The fact that you haven't read this book, the fact that I haven't read it either, the fact that I'm asking /lit/ for their opinions anyway, the fact that I'll just keep meming instead of just reading the damn thing, the fact that "the fact that" is Lucy Ellmann's shitty and uninspired version of greentexting, the fact that you're still reading this, the fact that...

One of the few good books written by a wom*n

Is this novel encyclopædic along the lines of Ulysses and the Divine Comedy?

I win.

ITT we shit on gimmicky books
>Over a thousand pages
>Consists of a single sentence
Too bad it says nothing of value

This novel blew me away. The first masterpiece of the 21st century.

do I have the book for you anon. I overuse the phrase 'such that', I'm just not sure what a good alternative is.

Haven't visited this place for some months, now this book is a meme.
Give me a quick rundown of this woman and her work. Is it a good meme like Ulysses or is it a meme like harry potter?

Is this book just boneless Ulysses

This is unironically the Ulysses of our generation. It may not be as good as Ulysses, but it's a signficant formal achievement nonetheless. And the fact that the author is not even American makes it all the more astonishing.

is it the ulysses of our generation?

It's not that bad

I never thought a novel that’s over 1000 pages, based on the inner monologues of a house wife, written in a single sentence could be so based.
