You might be better off asking Don DeLillo that question
having actually something to say
It's really good.
No excuse required.
Because you can.

People used to be literate
Individual chapters should be able to stand up on their own just as well as they do with all the rest.
>he didn't read Melmoth the Wanderer
Yeah, what *is* acceptable for how long a chapter is? I usually write somewhere between 1000-1500 words, and it's barely a few pages.
>laughs in thomas bernhard
>paragraph is 100 pages long
in his defense, Twitter had yet to be invented and writing 40 page long chapters wasn't the end of the world in the time period he wrote in.
A chapter is never too long. Nor is it too short. It is precisely as long as it needs to be.
None.
The author saying so I think
Longest chapter I can think of:
Chapter 2 of The Sound and the Fury. (104 pages in my edition.)
Shortest chapter I can think of:
"My mother is a fish." (As I Lay Dying).
Pretty cool of WF to hold both records, if you ask me.
(Bonus: longest paragraph I can think of = second paragraph of Molloy by Samuel Beckett, which is 83 pages long in my edition.)
Can anyone beat any of these?
The Mahabharata is literally infinite in its meaning.
