Some things are too experimental. Around the mid-point of this book (which is just one of three volumes) I was fascinated by the pseudo-hypnotic state the prose can create, but as I was nearing the end the trick was pretty tired, and it became a real slog, right up until the last 5 pages when it takes a hard turn with the protagonist recounting, in first person, being molested by a pedophile when they were six . No ****ing thank you, Nobel Prize Committee!
