That's Pynchon. You're describing Pynchon. At least some of the time, and FWIW the reviewer definitely seems to get him & his style.

The 8th paragraph in there is an excerpt from the new book, you'll notice it is 3 sentences, and the 3rd sentence begins about 10-15% of the way in and the 2nd sentence is a mere 8 words. This is typical and there are times where you will stop and take 5+ minutes to review and unpack and digest a single sentence of his when he's really digging his heels in. The payoff however can be absolutely immense.

If you're into the long sentences thing, try Laszlo Krasznahorkai: http://www.amazon.com/The-Melancholy-Resistance-Laszlo-Krasz... , http://www.amazon.com/Satantango-L%C3%A1szl%C3%B3-Krasznahor...

Sometimes sentences span pages. Each chapter is a single paragraph.

The movie adaptations are fantastic too.

Or Faulkner. Where the sentences span entire generations and a single moment.
