As someone who just spent a semester studying literary criticism and theory, this book was super interesting. Lots of playing with temporal-spacial narration. The first third of the book, at least, does a ton of interesting things with the craft of literature, and it's pretty cool (though the second half of the novel becomes a little more standard/less experimental).
As someone who hates reading someone else's self-aggrandizing pretentious bullshit, I hated this novel.
So, I'll split the difference and rate this one as a 2.5/5.
