I gave this a good go, but it was mostly incomprehensible to me. I could understand each word, but each sentence eluded me, like it was written in a code only the author could understand. Normally, that is fascinating enough to get me to just sort of go with the linguistic flow, but I couldn't do it this time.
If you're into Joyce and Beckett's more difficult works, you might be down to give this a shot. It's got a very interesting story behind it, and the brilliant Andrei over at The Untranslated gets to the core of it better than I ever could.
I've been vibing with most of the Deep Vellum/Open Letter stuff coming out lately, but this one totally defeated me. I've failed you, Andrei :(
