顺便扯开一句，我最喜欢的长句书是加夫列尔·加西亚·马尔克斯的《族长的秋天》（The Autumn of the Patriarch）。当时根本放不下，倒不是因为它情节有多引人入胜，而是因为我想停在某一章的结尾，或者起码停在一句话的句尾，…
Very tangentially, my favourite long sentence book is The Autumn of the Patriarch by Gabriel García Márquez. It was very hard to put down, not because it would've been especially gripping, but because I'd like to pause at end of a chapter, or at the very least at end of a sentence,…
读的时候那个小写的“I”非常显眼，感觉像是一种自我消解的做作。不过句子结构很完整。如果你真想读到透不过气来，试试马尔克斯的《族长的秋天》（The Autumn of the Patriarch）。你真的会放不下来。
The lower case "I" stands out very much in reading it as a self-annihilating affectation. However, the sentences are well formed. If you really want to lose your breath, try "The Autumn of the Patriarch" by Marquez. You really won't be able to put it down.
…sometimes intentionally, but I find it enormously satisfying to read and follow along with his brain. Like slowly drinking a maple syrup of words. One of the best examples is the first 15 or so[1] pages of Autumn of the Patriarch[2], where the narrator winds this thread of what has happened slowly, using sentences that span pages, until you realize a shift from what has happened to a sort of what is about to happen. Then a fist…
其他难啃的书，大致按难度递增排列：0) 马尔克斯的《族长的秋天》（The autumn of the patriarch） 1) 默温·皮克的《歌门鬼城》（Gormenghast）系列 2) 亨利·詹姆斯晚期的作品（《鸽翼》、《使节》和《金碗》） 3) 赫尔曼·布洛赫的《维吉尔之死》（The Death of Virgil）。我确实建议…
Other difficult books, in a somewhat increasing order of difficulty: 0) The autumn of the patriarch, by Marquez 1) Gormenghast series, by Mervyn Peake 2) The third period of Henry James (The Wings of the Dove, The Ambassadors, and The Golden Bowl). 3) The Death of Virgil, by Hermann Broch I do suggest…

如果你喜欢那种文风，你一定会享受《族长的秋天》（Autumn of the Patriarch）。大概是马尔克斯笔力最好的散文/小说作品了。
If you like that kind of writing, you would enjoy “Autumn of the Patriarch”. Probably Marquez’s best prose work.

…有时是故意的，但我觉得跟着他的脑回路读下来爽快极了。就像慢慢品尝文字熬成的枫糖浆。最好的例子之一就是《族长的秋天》[2]开篇的前15页左右[1]，叙述者用跨越数页的长句缓缓抽丝剥茧讲述发生过的事情，直到你意识到叙述从已经发生的事情悄然转向了一种即将发生的事情。接着一只拳头…

这让我想起加夫列尔·加西亚·马尔克斯的小说《族长的秋天》（The Autumn of the Patriarch），全书没有段落，全都是无限长的句子。
This reminds me of Gabriel García Marquez's novel _The Autumn of the Patriarch_, which has no paragraphs and infinitely long sentences.
