DID NOT FINISH: 46%

Too overwhelmed by the density of certain passages; one review said there is satisfaction in indulging in meticulousness but I don't think I can say that as a reader of this book. Maybe if I wrote it I'd feel differently; I do love a good passion project. And I also feel a lot of this was stuff I've explored on different occasions even if not in the same contexts as a Bay Area wasian involved in elite academia and detached artistry.
