Can you help me elaborately analyze the use of language in The Beautyful Ones Are Not Yet Born?

In the novel, The Beautyful Ones Are Not Yet Born, Armah's language is complex and almost poetic... it reads like a poem rather than a novel. He links images throughout the text that serve to link the images together like a chain of events. The images are often dark and despairing, and yet, the author offsets these images by speaking to the need for change, options to the system that has plunged its people into poverty and squalor, images of beauty, transformation, and rebirth.

The author's use of juxtaposition is extensive. He speaks to the trash on the streets, the demeanor of the bus driver (antagonistic), the wolflike timber dealer, poverty, bribes, and corruption, and yet, he juxtaposes these negative images with the positive... the beautiful woman, the flower petal, and the stream. Armah also uses the sea and its shoreline, in all of its natural beauty to symbolize cleansing, "the air was clean and moist with salt water." The man cleanses himself in the sea, he refreshes himself and washes off the filth of his existence, only to return to the currupted world in which he lives. But in the end, this ritiual cleansing provides a sense of hope and is followed by additional images.... the unexplainable flower, and the "strangely happy" song of an unidentified bird.
