What a strange book. I’ve never read something quite like it. There’s so much to it, I am confident I will revisit it in the future!

amyglbarker's review against another edition

I got a little halfway through this and my frustrations with it wore me out. I would love to return to this in the future but I think it would require a significant improvement in my own understanding of whatever was going on half the time. This truly felt like a case of me being too stupid to fully enjoy it!
