Abstract
I don’t know if cybernetic measurements of novel-rhythms have already been made, I would find them enlightening; and if there were any, I would like to compare ‘War and Peace’ and ‘Raskolnikov’, would like to see these two samples together. If you x-rayed them, materialised them,they would maybe both produce fantastic graphs as by-products of literature.
I don’t know if cybernetic measurements of novel-rhythms have already been made, I would find them enlightening; and if there were any, I would like to compare ‘War and Peace’ and ‘Raskolnikov’, would like to see these two samples together. If you x-rayed them, materialised them, they would maybe both produce fantastic graphs as by-products of literature. Boiled down to one formula – another comparison between Tolstoy and Dostoyevsky: Tolstoy is in his shortest novel still lengthy, Dostoyevsky breathless until complete breathlessness.1
– Heinrich Böll
