I liked it. If you're a plot-focused reader you might feel as though 3/4s of it could be cut. The central story is a diasporic family drama. A tragedy happens, and a family scatters for ten years, reunites, blah blah blah. It's very bittersweet and narrow in its central focus, but it's also what you'd call sprawling and goofy with it's huge cast of characters.

It's excessively wordy and indulgent to some. It has a huge level of attention to historical detail, setting, and contemporary academia, while simultaneously straying far from realism. I'd say it's exactly halfway between Gravity's Rainbow and Mason & Dixon in terms of scope, detail, and aesthetic.

Here's an image of some side characters.
