László Krasznahorkai in an interview he gave while attending a literary festival in Romania a few years ago:

"I do not believe in short sentences, because, in my opinion, short sentences are those that represent artificiality and convention."

"In fact, more than convention—people think that's the way we talk. I don't believe that to be true. Short sentences are totally artificial. We never think in short sentences, and if we want to say something extremely suggestive and important to those in our lives,"

"and we feel what we want to say as weighing strongly on us, we never use short sentences. After Satantango, in The Melancholy of Resistance, in War and War, I wanted to convince the reader. And that is why it seemed natural to me to use longer and longer sentences."

"If you read them aloud, it will be clear that they are very structured sentences. There are pauses, commas, rhythms.”
