That's because it's a shitty book, probably the most overrated of the 20th century. The satire is boring and in the 21st century beating a dead horse. People jizz over the prose but in truth it's just verbose and written as if the author was trying to impress beyond his means (he was)

Hermann Hesse is a much better 20th century novelist who actually had developed themes in his novels
