I enjoyed this book for many of the reasons people dislike it; it is a pretentious slice of life story that can be confusing at times. I really like this author's style of writing. The world building is deep without ever being fully explained. The main character often accepts the illogicality of his situations without question which forces the reader to do the same. There are elements of magical realism, family drama, fascism, revolution, and philosophy. I am sure that I don't "get it" fully and I don't care.
