There's too much to mention but here are a few things:
>chapters experimenting with different character voices, some chapter voices go extremely scientific or Shakespearean, one chapter is in advertisement format, one is in a screenplay format, one is in Q&A format, one just a gigantic 40 page sentence without commas or apostrophes
>in the chapter without apostrophes he writes "well see well see now shes well"
>tons of words you may never have seen before or may never see again
>corruptions of quotes from Dante, Shakespeare and the Bible
>gigantic lists of names and other sentences so obnoxiously exhaustive you will start to laugh
>colloquialisms, writing out nearly indecipherable dialects "Did ums blubble bigsplash crytears cos frien Padney was took of in black bag?"
>compounding words and spelling things out like "U.p.: up on it to take a li...And he doubled up."
>nursery rhymes, poetry and just good jokes "tooraloom tooraloom tay" "he saw me on the polo ground of the Phoenix park at the match All Ireland versus the Rest of Ireland" "once a woman has let the cat into the bag she must let it out again" "By Jesus, I'll crucify him so I will."
>just about ever turn of phrase imaginable and plays on them "half and half" "as the day was long" "born out of bedlock"
There are also a lot of references that only Irish people will get but it's satisfying to read even if you miss them. There are definitely parts where the book slogs but I think it's worth it. There are not many books like it.
