Why is this book such a slow read

I put it down, it makes no sense and it's one of those books that tires me out after a single page.

I understand it but it's just incredibly difficult to read
Like heart of darkness

>>8415664
Thats the point surely? I read it to have read it but i wouldnt again desu

>>8415664
It's a slog for sure.
skip the parts where he talks about the history book he's writing. they're completely unnecessary.
Towards the end there's a huge character resolution that the whole book is building up to. Similar to The Stranger I guess you could say.
Nausea has its moments, but Age of Reason is better Sartre for sure.

Maybe you're all reading a bad translation? Giving you the benefit of the doubt here

I read a little of the Lloyd Alexander translation and it was very difficult.

Seriously, the prose is fairly succinct and clear. God forbid any one of you reads the meme trilogy

>>8415847
No, it's not.

I've read Ulysses and infinite jest and both were far easier
Maybe it's the fact that I've been in a car for the past six hours and that makes me nauseous
Op btw

Okay, I guess it isn't. My mistake anon.
