Answer :

answer:James Joyce got away with lots of odd usuage and punctuation (read Molly Bloom’s soliloquy – the last chapter of Ulysses. It is 8 sentences long and about 35 pages – but one of the most uberbatman pieces of prose extant. Faulkner did the same thing when he wrote The Sound and Fury and started it with a stream-of consciousness sentence (that also went on for pages) by the 33 yr old retarded Benjie Compson. Virginia Woolf also took liberties…these authors annoyed many readers when their works were first published. Then, the literati began to examine their styles analytically and critically. Still, I am a Joyce and Faulkner fan and not one of Woolf and Hemingway. And look at the lack of punctution, except the omnipresent dash, in Emily Dickinson’s poetry. de gustibus For those who need a new hobby, Andrew reminded us long ago that all of Dickinson’s poetry can be sung to the tune of “The Yellow Rose of Texas.” And let us not forget Flannery O’Connor.
