"exhausted by Mark Z Danielewski's dense and overly-complicated tome"

[pynchonoid]

"While doggedly working through Mark Z Danielewski's
Only Revolutions, I was constantly reminded of other
similarly 'difficult' works, whose invention is such
that they require decoding rather than reading, whose
obsessive brilliance is of the almost autistic kind.
The Thomas Pynchon of Gravity's Rainbow sprang to mind
early on. Then, given the epic sweep of Danielewski's
narrative, Dos Passos's USA."

I wouldn't say this is unreadable ...
Sean O'Hagan finds himself exhausted by Mark Z
Danielewski's dense and overly-complicated tome, Only
Revolutions

The Observer
Only Revolutions
by Mark Z Danielewski


I read and enjoyed GR long before I got into a closer
reading with research, which added new levels of
enjoyment. "requires decoding" and "autistic" are
unreasonably harsh assessments of GR, seems to me.
