It has the same sort of feel to it (although the styles are different) as a Christopher Priest book, doesn't it? -- that sense of a writer who cares not just about the story but about the way he's telling it, who's making the effort to ensure you read this, and live it, rather than skip along from plot-point to plot-point.
