I was unsure about this book for a good 45% of the narrative but he's a tricky writer to pin down and the more I read the more I realised that there was not one work in there simply to pad out the page. It's one of the most carefully considered pieces I've read and comes close to being too clever for it's own good but only close. Starts slow, finishes strong and takes you on one hell of a ride along the way.
