>or if you just really like three-inch thick novels because they are like a fun puzzle or video game to be defeated
What else are they supposed to be?

the unconsoled by ishiguro

>>7631254
You forgot The Beetle Leg.

>>7631254
whose style was Girl With Curious Hair parodying?

>>7631254
Under the Volcano and that particular DeLillo aren't really experimental

i like carole maso's ada and sebalds austerlitz i think you'd like

>>7631528
you really like posting this

well I mean it's a good collection of books

>>7631577
Though very subtle, Under the Volcano's stream-of-consciousness is extremely experimental. I didn't catch it either until it was explained to me.

>>7631582
ohh

pray tell

>>7631563
BEE.

Typical Davy Wally.

Here's one section that exemplifies what I just said:
Ashamed, numb with nostalgia and anxiety, reluctant to enter the crowded bar, though equally reluctant to have the taxidriver go in for her, Yvonne, her consciousness so lashed by win and air and voyage she still seemed to be traveling, still sailing into Acapulco harbour yesterday evening through a hurricane of immense and gorgeous butterflies swooping seaward to greet the Pennsylvania--at first it was as though fountains of multicoloured stationery were being swept out of the saloon lounge--glanced defensively round the square, really tranquil in the midst of this commotion, of the butterflies still zigzagging overhead or past open ports, endlessly vanishing astern, their square, motionless and brilliant in the seven o'clock morning sunlight, silent yet somehow poised, expectant, with one eye half open already, the merry-go-rounds, the Ferris wheel, lightly dreaming, looking forward to the fiesta later--the ranged rugged taxis too that were forward to something else, a taxi strike that afternoon, she'd been confidentially informed.

This very pretty sentence takes place at 3 different times that are marked by three different things, and, indicated by the placement of the subject, verb, and appositives, shows Yvonne's focus on the past, despite the fact she is about to meet her ex-husband.

I'm currently reading Satantango and will soon be continuing to Melancholy of Resistance, both by Laszlo Krasznahorkai. Both films are also superb.

Melancholy of Resistance is a masterpiece, easily one of the best books of the 20th century. Just bought Satantango recently and I'm going to read it soon.

haven't held the book yet, is it really that hard?

One of my most pleb experiences was my first time checking out Pale Fire, the most confused I can remember being. It took a wikipedia search to convince me that the book hadn't been horribly misprinted

>>7631254
Interested.

Experimental prose and experimental structure...not always both...
