No. Both.
It's actually supposed to be a very highly regarded novel.
Clarissa is even longer; that's correct. I attempted to read this when I was in my early 20s, but never finished.
Since that time, though, I relish long intricate novels, which is one of the reasons I enjoy Post-Modern fiction and also Victorian novels.
