Here is a very 21st century moment. Neighborsgo.com has story about a Coppell man who says he has set a record for the world's longest published novel.
The author himself "doesn't claim his 2.5 million-word novel is the world's greatest, only the longest."
And thus begins another week in modern arts commentary: A self-published novel, notable only for its size, becomes a self-reported news article, which becomes a blog post for a bleary-eyed editor on a Monday morning.
It can only get better from here, right?
