Just jump into this road trip, don't worry about the form or the narrative. You'll be rewarded by stunning poetry and a surreal story with memorable characters. If you'd like to, follow up the classical references. If you don't you can still revel in the language - the short sections make it easy to read and reflect on each one. I didn't expect to enjoy this but I did and I'm seeking out its forerunner - Autobiography of Red.
