Is the 958 word-long sentence from Cities of the Plain available to purchase?
Where can I purchase the diagram of Proust’s longest sentence?
Where can I get the Marcel Proust poster of a Diagram of the Longest Sentence?
I gave my 1970's copy of the longest sentence diagrammed poster to my niece when she became an English teacher -—and she doesn’t know what she did with it !!!! I guess that’s gratitude for you !!
I’d LOVE to purchase another copy of this poster if it’s possible …
I would like to buy this poster. Please tell me how! Thanks.
I finally found my copy (had a teacher in college who had one on her office wall) after having maintained an alert on eBay for over a decade!
I saw this poster, or the Victor Hugo one, but I’m pretty sure it was Proust, at the house of my instructor for intermediate statistics in about ’71 or ’72? I have looked and looked for years for it. So, if someone comes across this I definitely would like to buy a physical copy.
