Read this novella The Lonely Londoners by Trinidadian writer Sam Selvon for my British Literature class. Two things notable about this book:
 * 1) The narrative voice is in the Trinidadian vernacular.  Can't think of another book where a 3rd person narrator does not speak in standard English.
 * 2) There's a 6-page sentence near the end of the book.  And it's grammatically a sentence, so it's not like he just didn't use periods or anything.
