Have you ever wondered how to make the literary equivalent of an expressionist painting? (If not, good for you.) Yevgeny Zamyatin has found the formula: 1. Lots of ellipses and unfinished sentences! 2. Action is okay as long as it's purposeless! 3. Nothing needs to make a whole lot of sense! 4. Use a LOT of exclamation marks!!!!

The fact that this book was unfinishable was the only thing that kept it from being a complete waste of time. Thank god. Had I finished it, I would have been forced to spend the rest of my life questing for the secret of time travel, so that I could travel back and slap the author.
