My second reading. Better than the first. Read as part of a book group “experiment/experience”. Oscillates between some of the cleverest, funniest prose ever committed to paper and the most pretentious wank; sometimes in the same sentence.
I might well read it again at some point. Just not now. I think I might have a lie down for a bit.
