The Last Novel by David Markson

DateSunday 13 July, 2008
David Markson's The Last Novel is composed entirely of short, one to three sentence factoids, reflections, and allusions, usually about historical and contemporary high cultural figures, that are separated one from another by a blank line. There are no conventional chapters, plots, settings, or characters, except for "Author," who appears in the third person in about 30 of the shorts."
Jefferson Hansen, Experimental Fiction & Poetry
