Reading the novel as an anaphor

It is not a coincidence that I chose the poetic form of the anaphor. It is easy to do and it is also the first nickname I started to use, while working as an 'in situ' writer. The ad hoc operations of this kind of writing inevitably induce errors you cannot repair.

The commands I used to get to this result are:

$ cat novel_noparagraphs.txt | sed -e "s/.\./&\n/g" > novel_lines.txt

$ cat novel_lines.txt | sort > novel_linesA-Z.txt

$ tac novel_linesA-Z.txt > novel_linesZ-A.txt
