: Re: How can I break up a lengthy explanation? I have a setting in one of my stories where a character has to describe a very long series of events, giving the history of an object so that others

You could try to disguise the infodump as something else. As it starts, cut to a flashback portraying the events in a more immediate sense. You could also choose to have the actual explanation going on while other events are happening, intercutting them at regular intervals (preferrably dramatically ironic ones).
