They are instances when blunders become advantageous. The Nobel Prize, the most prestigious honor in the world, was created due to one such mistake. When Alfred Nobel’s brother, Ludwig, passed away in 1888, a French newspaper published an article incorrectly identifying the deceased man as Alfred Nobel, the Dynamite creator who made him incredibly wealthy. This led to the publication of a particularly critical obituary entitled ” The Merchant of Death is Dead”. This meant that Alfred had a unique chance to read his obituary. Is this how future generations remember me?” He wondered guiltily. No, I have to take action. The vast sum of money I’ve amassed must be used to help bring about Global harmony. We all know what happened next. The Nobel prizes in physics, chemistry, biology/medicine, and literature were thus established.

‘Go’ is the smallest single-word statement. So, what might be the longest sentence? How many words are there? Make an educated guess. The longest phrase contains over four million words. Lucy Elman created and composed Ducks, Newburyport, a thousand-page novel. This 1,000-page novel won this year’s (2020) Goldsmith’s Prize for breaking the norm and stretching the novel’s structure. “It’s a massive achievement,” one judge cried. Another judge gushed. “This gripping, hypnotic novel remakes the novel.” The novel’s ambitious form initially attracted rejections until Galley Beggar eventually published it. The novel is an interior monologue of a mother baking pies in her kitchen in Ohio. According to the author, this long, run-on-sentence novel floats readers around, absorbed in one woman’s idea.
