This book is a weird, fascinating surrealist mystery book, but it's well written. Even though it's about spiders killing colonels. There are so many weird, confusing scenes that in retrospective, after you understand what's happening make a lot of sense, even though at the end, the author tantalisingly hints of a different explanation. Maybe he's just trolling, but I also see him capable to explain it if he wanted to (and he didn't.)
