Yeah I'm bracing myself for the full horrors to come, only 2 chapters in.
Jones is clearly an undersung genius though that much is clear.
I like the underlying Welsh epic stuff and all the other literary allusions, not that I can really understand all that stuff yet, but it gives it even more weight and depth. But that's not even necessary to appreciate it on first read, it's actually very accessible for a modernist text, much more than the waste land or the cantos (definitely reminds me of the pisan cantos a fair bit in style) for example - I guess cos it has more of a narrative and unified theme, but not just that, he's got his own thing going on too that's very immediate, not avant garde for its own sake but to serve a purpose.
