yes.
it doesn't seem too bad to me - one thing that his recent review of Ulysses in the LRB showed is that he's using his critical writing either as an expression of obsessions or a manifesto, that's to say an obsession with data and information, esp the form of writing or materials of communication, being a vehicle of transmutation, of translation in its widest sense - things suffering sea changes. (here "contrafluvial parsing" and "invasive transformation")
that feels a bit forced here - GR is copious and its images and the grotesquerie of its visions that sits in the way of "theory fiction". but I think he makes a good fist of it - it's clearly a piece by a fan reveling in the novel's plenty, which helps.
