Okay. You can either put this aside and write some more "traditional" or linear books, and bring this out as your coup de grace later in your career;
or you can focus your search for publication on companies that have published "experimental" fiction -- not stuff identical to yours, but with the same "experimental" conceit (and I am thinking here of Hal Duncan's Vellum, etc.);
or you can focus your search for publication on small presses that are more literary, who like quirky, offbeat stuff (and I am thinking here of Small Beer Press and the like);
or you can just send it in to a few regular old publishers and see what you get.
there's no harm in trying and the worst that can happen is a form rejection.
And you don't need to bother using the words "unique" and "experimental" -- you've just employed several different storytelling methods as window dressing to get your point across, much like putting cheese on vegetables to get kids to eat them. See?
