There is trouble, he is trying to fly faster than the other birds. That is the conflict, its with himself and also with the birds he is trying to fly faster than.

"Locus Solus" by Raymond Roussel

One of the weirdest "novels" ever. Basically this rich guy who lives outside Paris invites a bunch of people to come and visit. He takes them round his estate and shows them a lot of weird machines / exhibits he's made. They're just bizarre, e.g. there's a liquid you can breathe in, and he has a cat in it doing ballet (?).

The exhibits are all described in autistic detail and that's it. No plot, no nothing.
