In Suppose a Sentence, Brian Dillon turns his attention to the
oblique and complex pleasures of the sentence. A series of essays
prompted by a single sentence - from Shakespeare to Gertrude Stein,
John Ruskin to Joan Didion - the book explores style, voice, and
language, along with the subjectivity of reading. Both an exercise
in practical criticism and a set of experiments or challenges,
Suppose a Sentence is a polemical and personal reflection on the
art of the sentence in literature. Whether the sentence in question
is a rigorous expression of a state of vulnerability, extremity,
even madness, or a carefully calibrated arrangement, Dillon
examines not only how it works and why but also, in the course of
the book, what the sentence once was, what it is today, and what it
might become tomorrow.
