I wanna read this book but wonder if I’ll understand it

People are saying it’s hard to follow. I am trying to read this book as an antidote to a very intense and traumatic book that I read six years ago and hasn’t left me yet (it’s so bad I’m in therapy for it). The thing is I’m pretty busy and read on and off so I’m a little scared of understanding and following this monster. Been reading about DFW and this has been on my list for years.
