I think the 'bad writing' is intentional. I have slogged through some awful books by supposedly great thinkers. A lot of postmodern writing is like this; it is written in this dry and academic tone, a word salad that is intended to obfuscate truths rather than reveal them. Postmodernism has mastered the art of "hiding in plain sight" - you write something that is utterly unreadable and you slip your degenerate ideology in between the lines.
