An extremely bizarre read, almost intentionally confusing in the nature of its writing. stories within stories that lead the reader to forget the initial narrative, and encourages in the moment reading, rather than attempting to follow a plot throughout the book. The stamp of Dublin is unmissable, as the narrator walks through landmarks of the city and having pints with his friends. The first portion drags a small bit with repetitive jokes that I personally did not find funny, and the narrative was too murky for me overall, but once you give in to the surrealism it is an enjoyable read.
