There's a real disconnect here between the narrator and the reader, purposefully so. There were a few stories and passages that really seemed to be saying something interesting, but I wonder, over time, how much it'll truly stick with me. As a reader, I tend to enjoy character first and foremost, and this does interrogate the human condition, but without a point of connection to hinge that investigation on, I'm not sure how much I'll ultimately retain. I do feel I got something out of it, and I feel other readers will be able to mine ever more from it.
