People claim its a difficult book, but it really isn't as long as you can follow dfws tangential, page long run on sentences. Its size is kinda deceptive too. Its less like a single 1200 page book and more like two 400 page books and a collection of short stories that all take place in the same world and relate too eachother. So you read 20 pages, then the next 20 pages is written in a different style. Some of its really funny, some of its really sad. Its all really neurotic. Probably frustrating if you care a lot about narrative... Theres a sort of "gamey" quality too the whole thing that @KongsburyDonkboy found super engaging but don't really know how too articulate on. trans lives matter
