There is 'The Sound and the Fury' by William Faulkner. It has a fragmented narrative which creates 'blank' areas in the sense that the reader has to piece together the story from different perspectives and fill in the gaps. Kafka's 'The Castle' is also a candidate. The never - ending bureaucracy and the lack of a clear resolution can be thought of as a form of 'blankness' in the novel.
One example could be 'The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle' by Haruki Murakami. In this novel, there are certain elements that seem to be left 'blank' in a sense, like the open - ended nature of some of the mysteries. Another could be James Joyce's 'Finnegans Wake' which has a complex and often ambiguous structure that can be seen as having 'blank' spaces in terms of straightforward narrative understanding. Also, Virginia Woolf's 'To the Lighthouse' has moments where the narrative seems to skip or leave things unsaid, creating a kind of 'blank' in the story.
One could be: 'The turkey was so big that when it walked into the kitchen, it (knocked over) all the pots and pans.'
A funny fill blank story could start like this: 'The [adjective] wizard lived in a [noun] castle. He had a [adjective] pet that [verb].' For instance, we can fill it as 'The crazy wizard lived in a floating castle. He had a purple pet that sang opera.' It gives a really humorous scenario.
One example could be 'The little boy ____ to the park.' Answers could be 'ran' or 'walked'.
Since we have so little information, it's possible that 'the great blank' was a creative or experimental title for a novel in 1925. It could have been a work that explored new themes or literary forms for that era, but without further research, we can't be certain.
There are quite a few well - known 'outsider novels'. 'Of Mice and Men' by John Steinbeck can be considered one. Lennie and George are outsiders in a way, constantly on the move and not really fitting into the society of ranch workers. Also, 'Invisible Man' by Ralph Ellison. The unnamed narrator is an African - American man in a society that often makes him feel invisible and like an outsider due to racial discrimination.
One famous 'capital novel' could be 'Great Expectations' by Charles Dickens. It is set in London, which is a major capital city. The story follows Pip's journey from a young boy with humble beginnings to a gentleman, exploring themes of class, love, and ambition.
One example could be 'Lolita' by Vladimir Nabokov. The character of Lolita can be seen as a victim in many ways. Another is 'The Color Purple' by Alice Walker, where Celie is a victim of abuse and racism.
Well, here's a story. 'At the Christmas party, the guests were _ (telling) funny stories about their worst Christmas sweaters. And then there was a story like 'The Christmas tree was _ (decorated) so beautifully that it almost looked magical with all the lights and ornaments.
One example could be 'The baby's diaper was so full that it [blank] like a little mountain.' Another is 'The baby tried to eat the [blank] instead of the baby food.' Or 'The baby was chasing the cat and [blank] right into the wall.' These stories are funny because they play on the unexpected and silly things that babies do.
Another example could be 'Preacher'. It had a lot of out - there stories with morally ambiguous characters. The 90s run of this comic was full of strange plot twists and a very different take on the superhero or anti - hero genre.
