Honestly what can I say. It took me a long time but this is my favorite new read in a long while. I can't say I got Everything about it, as it's incredibly dense and convoluted but it's fun. Who needs to understand everything? No one in this book understood everything.
It has something to say about navigating a world with things both bigger and smaller than yourself, and how it's messy. It won't stop being messy. You roll with the punches as is. Excellent pep talk from Jason Pargin in the special afterword. Gonna go make some art that's difficult to make now.
