Recent front-page article in The Wall Street Journal: newly published French novel containing not a single verb. A fascinating literary feat, that.
Prepositions and participles? Plenty. Gerunds? Great. But not one verb.
Great literature? Probably not. A gimmick? Without a doubt – but a well-executed one.
Also a gimmick, and a more subtle one at that, the Journal’s article. As with the novel, written entirely without verbs.
Likewise this blogpost.
