Finally finished this densely hallucinatory tome.
Perhaps I have opened the wrong door and at any moment The Man In Possession, The Owner Who Got There First will run in and scream:
"What Are You Doing Here? Who Are You?"
And I don't know what I am doing there nor who I am. I decide to play it cool and maybe I will get the orientation before the Owner shows. . . . So instead of yelling "Where Am I?" cool it and look around you will find out approximately. . . . You were not there for The Beginning. You will not be there for The End. . . . Your knowledge of what is going on can only be superficial and relative. . . .

Drug addled blathering. Sounds like a guy who has been on too much drugs for too long who is only focused on sex in the most disgusting way. Not sure why this was published.

Literally Scrotie McBoogerballs.
Another metaphor because I have no original thoughts. In The French Dispatch there’s a scene where Adrien Brody’s character says something along the lines of, “if you want to see if an abstract artist is actually good and not just messing with you, then just get them to draw something basic and if they do a really good job then you know that they’re legit and are just more interested in abstract expression than something easier to ingest.” This book felt like that being sandwiched by a very legible preface and appendix around about 150 pages of the most grotesque imagery imaginable.
