A series of essays prompted by a single sentence--from Shakespeare to James Baldwin, John Ruskin to Joan Didion--this new 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, \u003ci\u003eSuppose a Sentence\u003c\/i\u003e is a polemical and personal reflection on the art of the sentence in literature.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBrian Dillon\u003c\/b\u003e was born in Dublin in 1969.
