Paragraph breaks are good Have you ever read a 191-page paragraph? Okay, ifthat doesn't put you off, how about a 191-page paragraph that switches backand forth from scene to scene with no warning? Okay, with a littlewarning. Claude Simon's Conducting Bodies is an experiment in memory,I think. Simon uses a number of catchphrases (the "conductingbodies" of the title) to alert the reader to upcoming scnee changes.Often, a scene changes in the middle fo the action and will be picked upagain later; sometimes a hundred pages or so later. There are no divisionsof any sort; no chapters, no paragraphs, no nothing. If there weren'tsentence breaks I'd have had to try and read the whole thing at onesitting. It's possible that this is actually a work of genius. Afterall, Simon did win the Nobel Prize for literature in 1985, and I assume thecommittee had a reason for giving it to him. And maybe I just wasn't payingclose enough attention. And, to be fair, as things weaved in and out, Ifound I was able to keep track of the threads without actually expendingtime on doing do; Simon would pick up a thread again he'd left off ten orfifteen pages before and I had no problem remembering what had been goingon at the time. But this is a very tiring book, not only because of theattention it commands but also because of the simple visual conceit ofhaving no breaks anywhere on the page, line after line after full line ofunbroken text. And it's headache-inducing after a while. I kept going tosee if anything would tie all these different threads in in the end, and Iguess that's something, too. But without anything to seize upon, theever-falling rain of images gets to be too much. Things CAN be too sweet. *
