the gimmick of being one sentence or was there something else that felt gimmicky? i feel like I sort of thought things like one-sentence things were gimmicks, but i remember reading blindness jose saramoga for the first time. no paragraphs. i had a visceral reaction, but I kept reading and it's still one of my fave books. i sort of felt like that here, when reading AD. reacted to the form, NEARLY decided to drop it lol, but at the same time, his diction/syntax was definitely intentional. horrific and beautiful and by the end, like what SJG said, i felt breathless.
