A patron today said that she liked the style of Ava's Man by Rick Bragg; that
is, she liked the fact that Bragg wrote in relatively short sentences. She
wanted more books in this style. Could the list help us out?
TIA
Dee

Try Red Azalea by Anchee Min. It's a memoir written in short declarative
sentences.

An obvious choice would be Rick Bragg's tribute to his mother, All Over But
the Shoutin'.

There is a book of Rick Bragg's newspaper stories called Somebody Told Me.
His writing style there is very much like the style of the other two just
mentioned.

A Frolic of His Own by William Gaddis has large stretches of dialog with
no "he said, she said" or other indications of who is the speaker.
