Someone once told me that Bret Easton Ellis (who is a jerk) fully expected his readers to skim his novels, and wrote many sections with that in mind, and all I could think is: “What is the point of this charade?” I was so irritated!
German author Walter Moers invented the Zamonian author Hildegunst von Mythenmetz who was known for his literary use of “Mythenmetz tangents” where he’d start writing about something totally unrelated to what the story was currently about. One of his books basically consisted only of those and the last sentence read “And our story begins here.”
