I picked this one entirely based on vibes so I didn't really expect anything in particular. It was a quick and fairly interesting read but not a super impressive one.

Too focused on convoluted world building that it drowns its own forgettable characters. It is nothing like it's self-marketed Joseph Conrad comparisons. Apparently Djuna intended this to be a sci-fi film initially, and it really shows. What we have is a rare occasion where it should have never been a book to begin with, and should have jumped straight to the screen for better results.
