Much like rock & roll songs that are longer than four minutes, books longer than 400 pages feel like a ridiculous sort of masturbatory self-indulgence. I like to say an author has to earn every paragraph after page 300, and they rarely do so (I’m looking at you Jonathan Franzen and that bullshit you piled on us called Freedom).
