Ten signs of authorship

[sawyl]

Having nothing better to do today, I thought I'd run through the latest literary meme: a list of ten signs that a book has been written by me.

1. The backdrop is a baroque distopia
2. The narator is mercurial and unreliable
3. There are no names
4. There are many gratuitous descriptions of the music of JS Bach
5. The novel is character driven
6. The plot doesn't really go anywhere and doesn't really conclude
7. Almost everything is symbolic of something else
8. There is much dense discussion of philosophy
9. Every sentence is far too long and dashes are absurdly overused
10. There is a large and comprehensive glossary

And were I allowed an eleventh sign, I'd have to go with complete unreadability!
