Unironically Deleuze's Difference And Repetition
It's seriously about absolutely nothing whatsoever, it's about what makes stuff differentiate from the unity of being and such.
So basically, it's so abstract that it's about things that can only be thought, thus nothing

Surprised no one has mentioned the Unnamable yet. It's just character possibly in a room, unable to see because they're blind, it's dark, or there's nothing to see. That's the whole novel.

define "happens"

>> No.17088619

what is nothing?
in whet sense could nothing _happen_?
is the passage of time an occurrence?
if there is no matter, in a vacuum, and time passes, has something happened?
if the novel takes place in a space if time so small as to be un measurable by physical instruments, did nothing happen?
at what point of granularity does time operate and what "happens" in between those granular bits?

The Magic Mountain by Thomas Mann. Piece of trash book where some faggot sits on his ass in a sanatorium for several years. Worst book I read in 2020.
