That book is literally fucking garbage, the sentences are so fragmented and tangential that by the time you finish a paragraph you will forgetwhat even brought you to its conclusion. Blood Meridian is an example of how to do this correctly. Tai Pai is utter garbage. Reading Tao Lin is like watching a laser disc with disc rot.

I hated this book. I've read the whole thing (sort of masochisticy) and can confim: It is garbage.

Moby Dick is the same way, yet its universally praised. Likewise, many of Joyce's works include stream of consciousness, which precludes the possibility of coherency by innate virtue.

Perhaps you think its garbage is because millennial prose style is indolent, structure-less, boring, and —as stated already— fragmented.

Just read Taipei. It is accessible, and you can get through it quickly.
