I think he's going for a Bulwer-Lytton award: http://www.bulwer-lytton.com/ It would have been easier if he'd managed to combine his screed into one sentence, like this one: "It came to him in a cocaine rush as he took the Langley exit that if Aldrich had told Filipov about Hancock only Tulfengian could have known that the photograph which Wagner had shown to Maximov on the jolting S-bahn was not the photograph of Kessler that Bradford had found at the dark, sinister house in the Schillerstrasse the day that Straub told Percival that the man on the bridge had not been Aksakov but Paustovsky, which meant that is was not Kleist but Kruger that Cherensky had met in the bleak, wintry Grunewald and that, therefore, only Frau Epp could have known that Muller had followed Droysen to the steamy, aromatic cafe in the Beethovenstrasse where he told Buerger that Todorov had known since the Liebermann affair that McIntyre had not met Stoltz at the Goerlitzer Bahnhof but instead had met Sommer at the cavernous Anhalter Bahnhof."

The dark part is redundant; had the lonesome moon even been out, it would have been obscured by the ephemeral clouds. Suddenly, three men entered a cave. One said, "Otto, tell us a story." The story began...It was a stormy night, and three men entered a cave. One said, "Cut it out, Otto!" And he did. --oTTo--
