just understand this book is 1.3 million words long and every bit of it will take a bit of puzzling out. I own the book, and goddamn it is cartoonishly big

I'll give it this - it's the ultimate expression of post-modernism i.e. content doesn't matter, all that does is a nice presentation.

Eventually, I imagine, words will cease to matter as cultural marxism is explored and dismantles the foundation of a thinking Western World and all that will be left for art are hacks such as Warhol or literature works such as this garbage in which meaning, talent, intelligence, honesty, structure, feeling, and merit based on worth are censored in order to not offend the public.

This has a feeling of "smart" or "epic", yet it contains neither except for a presentation. People will buy this book who have not read or understood any literature whatsoever and can feel as if they are included in the literary world, because effort, effort and achievement, is seen as an old world concept which only exists in mysoginistic, racist, bigoted, and patriarchy controlled societies.
