This comment is what I thought. I also liked the last half less, starting with the part OP had a complaint with. That mini-conflict didn't feel reasonable or necessary to me, especially since it was resolved so pat-ly so the narrative could move on to the actual main conflict.
I did really like the first half and some of the language in it - the part where Geno says he's a bear, that part with the mouth of the Stanley cup and caviar, the whole sequence leading up to Geno comparing himself to a toadstool, etc. The second half I powered through; it wasn't bad and I wanted resolution. I would still rec finishing because what else is there to read.
