I read it that way second time around, too. Definitely just one angle
you can take on the book, but an interesting one. Once you treat giant
tusk-shaped buildings and loony bins with robed patients as more
colour than movement, a whole bunch of other things come to the fore.

You can do the same with Lemuria, acid insights, and so forth. I'd say
the book almost encourages that chuckling dismissal. Almost.
