Eimear McBride is not interested in linear sentences. She is not interested in "endless heaps of description," or "being told what something is like, instead of what it is." She gives me an example, an elaborate, figurative description of a girl going down the stairs, and then cuts herself off: "I think, ‘Oh god, just go down the stairs!'"
Don't waste time, she seems to be saying, because life doesn't waste time - it rushes forward, all the way to the end.
