The writing is intoxicating and absorbing, but that's also it's biggest flaw. I get lost in the stream of consciousness and miss the plot, events just start folding in on each other. Trying to read this in the morning and not remembering what's going on is the literary equivalent of being blackout drunk, forgetting someone sold you acid, and then waking up later tripping- this book feels like that wtf, oh ok, moment

Its his earlier works, so they're more long winded; but at the same time he's less abashed about making his influences obvious, there's several philosophical concepts he explores right out the bat, from Freud, Lacan, and Deleuze. I picked up traces of these in his books before, especially Annihilation with the psychoanalytic themes, but here he makes them clear I think (if you know what to look for).
