This 517-page novel, winner of the Prix du Livre Inter and the Prix Decembre, has an unusual conceit; it’s told in a single sentence. Author and translator Christophe Claro acclaims it as “the novel of the decade, if not the century.” [Srlsy? It’s pretty early in the century to tell, isn’t it? And you haven’t seen my 1,000 word novel written all as one word.<\/i>]\n

Jealous yet? Just remember. If someone did a print run of 50,000 of your books, and you only sold 49,000, you will be considered a failure. Whereas if they only printed 10,000 of your books but you sold 20,000, you’d be a success.<\/p>\n
