libro de circunvolución

I started reading Juilo Cortazar's Libro de Manuel this week. This is easily one of the most difficult to comprehend books I've ever read. One character, Lonstein, not only uses highly technical and/or archaic castellano, sometimes he makes up his own words. The narration switches between Andres and "El que te dije", thourghouly confusing me. Written as a journal, it includes actual newspaper clippings of the era (early 1970's) commenting on violence against leftist idealists. Hopefully as the book unfolds I will have a better understanding (or any understanding) of the drama.
