I understand completely our need to suspend this discussion, and will do so immediately.
As for literary transgressions, transgressions they are not, as I read these literary liberties as poetic license, and find them everywhere I go when reading. For example, Patrick McGrath uses comma splices here and there in his wonderful novel, Asylum, to emphasize imagery and concept.
Point of view narrative and voice also lend themselves to greater license, and it is in a writer's use of license, part of which is style, that I also look for clues.
You are a peerless, writer, Paul, among those who know precisely where and how to break the rules effectively and impressively.
