I've read the chapters of the book that are the fragments of the unfinished Ellison 2nd novel, comprising about half of the 1100 pages here. (The rest include some other Ellison writings and explanations of the research done by the two editors) Ellison's unique writing style is on display, but I'm afraid that some of it, without a true story holding it all together, gets a bit ponderous to read - some of the reverie and flashback segments are virtually incomprehensible to this reader with respect to the plot. You can tell he struggled to figure out how the story would finally come together since a) he rewrote several sections multiple times and b) he worked on this thing for over 40 years. I'm glad I had the chance to read it, but doubtful it will ever get a second read.
