[Marzi Margo · Rating 4 out of 5]

Let's make things blah, indeed. From 2007 to 2008, Nigel Tomm unblinkingly demolished all previous thoughts about the barrier of language and words by writing and releasing "The Blah Story," the longest published novel in literary history.

Its sixteenth volume maintains all notoriety, beginning with a goal of whimsical proportions and the simple intent to create complex history. With this particular volume, Tomm begins the written world's longest (run-on) sentence. Beyond each blah placement and every post-post-post-modern idea within the volume lies something that could be viewed as an historical lecture on linguistics. The Joycean stream-of-consciousness narrative and the cummings-esque word reinvention present somewhat of an homage to all previous boundary-devouring authors/wordsmiths. The crudely drawn clock on the book's cover helps to string this possible theory together. "The Blah Story" is not only about a personalized reading experience like no other; it is also about all reading experiences that had been (and, in some cases, still are) far ahead of their entrapping times. Especially with volumes 16 through 19 of his blah story, Nigel Tomm is an inspirational pioneer paying his respects to the pioneers that had probably inspired him.
