It's interesting that this topic should be raised today as just last night I started reading a nonfiction book in which the author uses sentence fragments. Repeatedly. Multiple times on every page. Indeed, she uses them to such an extent that she just appears lazy, as if she decided it was too much trouble to convert her research notes into coherent, elegant sentences. It's the first time I've encountered sentence fragments as a defining characteristic of an author's style. Is this becoming more common in both fiction and nonfiction?
