Seinfeldian in that it's about nothing at all. The characters are tedious, unlikeable pseudo-intellectuals (which is the joke). Oliveira, in particular, is a prig. 

I didn't have the courage to do the hopscotch method this first time around. 350 pages was more than enough. 

Cortázar was so talented that it wasn't entirely unenjoyable. I much prefer 62: A Model Kit (which was spawned from this work)
