The Whispering Muse by Sjón

What the hell was this.
Reading the blurb I thought that this was going to be a really fun re-telling of the Argonautica, but set on a modern ship on a moody sea somewhere. Instead it was a fish-obsessed, racist narrator and a bunch of weird characters having dinner and a nonsensical, boring plot. The poetic writing didn't help and just confused me more. I feel I'm really missing something and looking back I can't remember a single thing about the plot.
I feel like I need to read this again but honestly can't really bring myself to.
