The Autumn of the Patriarch by Gabriel García MárquezRead about another entry on the list.
The long sentences here agglomerate the era of the patriarch, retelling it as hearsay, which accommodates what everyone remembers such that sometimes, in midsentence, someone interjects and says do you remember when he would give orders to go and take that door away from here for me, they took it away, put it back again for me, they put it back, and then the interjection ends and the agglomeration continues, and perhaps because I read these sentences right at the beginning of my attempt to become a novelist, I never forgot how wonderful it is for multiple voices to exist in the same sentence.
