Maggie Stewart answers â€œI am totally confused. I'm reading...â€� â€� The Waves Q&A

Christie asked this question about The Waves:

I am totally confused. I'm reading disjointed nonsense prose. With the 4+ starts, I'm guessing that it comes together at some point, but I don't know if I can stick it out. How long does it take to start making sense?!
