Critics and scholars disagree about a lot about this book, but most agree that it portrays a man's dream, and that it's full of complex, layered allusions and jokes. Arguments still rage as to whether it has a plot.
Some people have suggested that reading it out loud is the easiest way to understand it, but if you attempt this feat, All The Tropes disclaims all responsibility for any long-term effects on your throat, vocal chords, or sanity.
