>'The Art of Asking Your Boss For A Raise' by French experimental author Georges Perec is best read aloud. It’s a theatrical piece with dazzling, recursive language that evokes laughter and pity at 'your' plight as you tackle the practical and emotional burden of asking for a much needed (if not deserved) pay increase while in the employ of one of France’s largest companies.
>The entirety of the book's 80 pages are one sentence, without punctuation, capitalization or spatial breaks.
I suspect much of the reaction is that it seems a little pretentious, like a faux optimization along the lines of "Oh I'm soooo busy, no time for caps", etc.
