What's the point of this book? Who knows?! Who cares?! It's magical realism!

I'm giving this book two stars rather than just one because, unlike most magical realism, the author doesn't disguise the lack of plot behind impenetrable writing. This let me give up half way through when I realized the next 200 pages wouldn't be that much different from the first.

Spoiler
There's a chance the book makes more sense if you know what the TV show Twin Peaks is. Never heard of it before, and this book certainly doesn't make me want to learn more.
