I was joking there Mr Vooje, based on the notorious rep of FW as a proper language mangler. Holy fuckbuckets, I'm the last person that would actually, really take such a work to task for punctuation. Twas a poor joke told poorly and I was just making light of it's rep and regard as a classic within the literarti orthodoxy and how that's pretty ironic considering its pulverising of form. x
Ah, no sweat, dude - I knew you were jesting. I did try and read it a few years ago but unlike JJ's earlier books, I gave up about a third of the way through 'cos I couldn't make head nor tail of it!
