Oh dear, thus has cost me an audiobook slump. Which is the first time ever I had such a slump! Or one of very few times. Anyway, this is linguistically interesting, meta and self-aware and I can see how it was revolutionary in a way when it was published, BUT it has no plot, no storyline, no cohesion. It's just a very long stream.of consiousness ramble, which would be entertaining and fun for 200 pages maybe, but for the length of this book it would really need something more than wit to keep me enthusiastically engaged.
