This is not a sentence written by Dan Brown.
I now know how it comes about.
"The key to Dan Brown’s success" (Times August 15, 2009):
The cerebral stand-up comic Stewart Lee began his recent BBC Two series Stewart Lee’s Comedy Vehicle with a blunted attack on Brown, stating: “The worst published author in the world today is also one of the most successful.” Afloat on a tangible wave of recognition from his audience, he mocked Brown for writing sentences such as: “The famous man looked at the red cup.”
Lee admits that he made the line up, having only “skimmed” Brown’s books, looking for examples of that plain, overliteral prose style.
