* GenreBusting: For one thing, everyone seems to be sure this is science fiction, but to explain how (such as when done by Tak in-universe or in the foreword in the SF Masterworks series edition), one has to resort to complicated structural rationalisations, because basic elements like a futuristic setting or imaginary technologies are mostly absent. The weirdness mostly comes from scientifically inexplicable things that don't really fit any genre except something like surrealism.

* NoodleIncident: The last part contains references to incidents that are not explained, partly because it's told in the form of a manuscript with missing pages. There are two different occasions when a woman is angry enough to seriously physically attack a man (it's not the same woman or man both times) because of something he did, but both times, it's not told what he did. The narrator also refers to incidents he won't write down, even when at one point he's also saying they were ''more'' dramatic than what he is writing about.
