I think it's intentional. Reading this book and trying to remember the details is a huge mistake, and you won't finish. I think it's as plain and simple as that.

Witness the moment late in the first part where Amalfitano is explaining something and he goes into bizarre detail about a dream and a stage and life and finally after three pages one of the critics says, "I didn't understand a word you said," and Amalfitano says, "I know, I was just talking nonsense," and then they all move to a different topic without comment.

Remember that passage when you're reading parts 2-5, hubski.

I feel like that set the tone, for sure.
