Its part of a compendium of novels deemed essential reading to becoming big brain westoid canon nerd by /lit/. However, since it comes from :amerikkka: Im worried that in the end its going to offer nothing of substance, liberal ideology, and snarky anti-populist messaging and I'm only going to realize this 75% through reading it and cry because im slow at literary analysis.
It's a fucking mess. His editor mistook ADD ramblings for artistic vision and didn't bother doing their job. The footnotes' footnote's have footnotes. About the only thing it did of note, besides a few story within a story mechanics, was create a better platform for his 'This is water' speech. But overall it just isn't worth the time, and I think most people who claimed to have read it, didn't, or just skimmed it.

Lol, I'm unfamiliar.
I did just realize there should have been another footnote mixed in there somewhere though. 😅
