It is huge (600 some odd pages), it is bizarre, it is encyclopedic, it has footnotes and a bibliography (which might or might not reference real books, not to exclude a middle or anything, and nothing like DFW's IJ), it is ambiguous but holds together really well. I think it would appeal to fans of TRP. Well, it appealed to me anyway. I really like it, but wonder if it will hold up to a second or third reading.
