Thanks anon.

I suppose the main problems I can foresee are that, first in the query, if you had a novel similar to the meme trilogy then it would be difficult to argue for its good points without coming across as a deluded pseud who has had one too many sniffs of the snuffbox.

And second, in the manuscript, in conveying some of the large-scale literary attempts... One of my favourite things about the work of Wilson and Pynchon, for example, is the way that characters and concepts can be drawn out and layered, so that the whole piece winds up being more than the sum of its parts. That is, the driving force of the work is neither story, nor prose, but a way of presenting elements of both in interesting combinations and unusual patterns, yes within the short-term sentences and paragraphs, but more importantly across enormous stretches of seemingly disconnected scenes. It just seems like the sort of thing I cannot imagine an agent/publisher being able to appreciate in a quick excerpt on a pile of 500 submissions. How do you deliver a sense of "more than the sum of its parts" when they only want to see a part?
