What are some other books like this?

I mean sense of no time or an exact location. Feel like there is no difference between first and last pages.

Feeling like it is a whole organism consisting of same and identical parts.

Lolita and V. are similar, in that the reader must forgo their sense of 'what's happening' to appreciate the prose

this recommendation is awful

look it's obvious you don't read a lot you don't need to shoehorn in the few books you have read into everything

Prospero's Cell by Lawrence Durrell. Sure, being a travel journal, it's well situated in both time and space but there is no narrative thread and it's got that dreamy feeling in gorgeous prose.

I think you might like Imaginary Lives by Schwob and Against the Grain by Huysmans. Oh, and some Julien Gracq.

Eh, for spells ( like Combray), but there are too many long term trajectories and bits of plot and shit.

>>7796112
Huysmans maybe for the interior decoration shit.

Einstein's Dreams by Alan Lightman. not as good as Calvino's book but uses similar structure, if i recall correctly. it's been a while since i've read either.

Gracq is a hack and no way comparable to Calvino

Einstein's Dreams is basically the poor man's version of this. Borges Ficciones is an obvious fit.

Einstein's Dreams was like Mitch Albom rewriting Invisible Cities. A couple nice thoughts here and there, but somehow manages to be both light and tedious at once.

This definitely has a similar dreamlike quality, to the point of being unnerving.
It's great.

All of Beckett, but I've the feeling he isn't what you're asking for.
