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.
