Am I missing something? Is there a new ‘Absurdity’ genre of stories that are not intended to make sense?
I have read two books this week that promised much but delivered nothing other than almost complete bewilderment. They didn’t make sense at all.
Yet both had received four and five star reviews. I have absolutely no idea how.
Surely a basic requirement of writing a story for someone else to read is that it needs to make sense? It needs to mean something, to communicate an idea, or to at least not leave the reader perplexed.
I don’t understand how those books are meant to be enjoyable.
If someone else likes them, that’s great, but they are not for me.

There is absurdist theatre (I was in a play called “The Cage Birds” that falls into that category), so I rather imagine that the same is available in literature. Not my cuppa, though.
Not mine either.
I read high school students’ compositions all the time and get less confused.
