David Markson, from This Is Not a Novel (2001).
One last bit, from the penultimate page of a novel that did indeed dispense with conventional notions of action and plot. I will guess that The Dehumanization of Art is the source of the sentence attributed to José Ortega y Gasset. I know that sentence that follows is attributed to Dizzy Dean, who appears elsewhere in the novel.
