I've just read the article and agree that it's weird as if the author is trying to prove a point by warping things - literal and figurative, real and imagined. Convention and communication became all fuzzy and unclear. I thought the style - dialogue and then third person chunks - was a clever way to further these ideas. I found it as frustrating to read as it seemed for the reporter to experience - perhaps another ploy on the part of the author.
I remember a quote that theologian Marcus Borg said was attributed to a Native American chief and it can be paraphrased as: I don't know if it happened this way but I know this to be true.
I felt the article might be getting at this.
