Well, he may plausibly have gone out of his way to demonstrate an extensive vocabulary, as English was his third or fourth language. I appreciate his talents, but it was too wordy, it wasn't nearly as interesting as it could have been, and I don't like it when books beat me over the head with symbolism. I'm sure his use of structuralism and decomposition was cool and all, but the novel was not.
