Why is her writing so difficult to read? I have no idea what's going on on her novels.

1. high end vocabulary
2. sentences contain a shitton of nested clauses
3. intended to be read as a schizo fever dream because it was all the rage in the early 20th century fiction

Wasn't she just manic or somewhat delusional when she wrote her shit? Some sources say she had bipolar disorder.

Emerging style of modernity. Same with Joyce, Faulkner (and in different ways and for different reasons Kafka or Musil). Realism tried to hold the reader's hand, modernity often inentionally seeks to confuse.

Try starting with Jacob's Room. It's where she found the real break-out point for her "methods".
