Honestly it can be a bit confusing if it's one of your first forays into nonlinear or episodic stuff with wordplay and "surreal" scenes or whatever the /lit/ kids want to call it, but it's pretty coherent and flows well. Much less complicated that Joyce, any postmodern stuff, etc.

I read the entire thing stoned as shit when I was 19 and it didn't confuse me.

not so bad, pretty funny, and while at surface level pretty goofy, it's actually really intelligently written

it's spazzy but completely understandable, and is even better on a second read

>any postmodern stuff

except it's frequently cited as "postmodern stuff"
