/lit/ - Literature

I want to write a book where there isn't actually a conflict, the character just walks around experiencing weird trippy shit, with lots of aesthetic descriptions and philosophical digressions. The problem is that structure falls apart very, very fast. Progression is what ties together stories, and gives them a purpose to have the next page. Without events tying the previous events together, it very quickly just becomes a collection of fragments.

I've thought about just making a story which runs on the logic of a dream, aka just making stuff happen without explanation which expresses symbolizes some emotion, but the same problem of fragmentation seems to occur. Each little part blends into each other and there's no narrative which makes any one part meaningful in relationship to any other.

I am just tired of stories that have narratives, I don't care about characters going about their business in the world, the world is an evilly contrived place.
