To me the opposite is true, Slothrop is stuck in the text, and the
reader is the one set free. You could say that is possible because
Slothrop has been teleported into the reader's conscience, but to me he
fades as the book itself moves in its own inertia to the inevitable end.
Slothrop can't go home again, but the reader has to. Like waking up . . .

But he (slothrop) does linger on, and we do return to the book, so all
these views are interpenetrating . . .

on me. To remind me of. Lff!"
