Absurdism in Literature

Example 2: The Absurdity of Infinite Regress

The Absurdity of Infinite Regress is a literary technique where a story goes on forever, with no discernible beginning or end. It's like a never-ending staircase of confusion.

Example:

A story about a character who is trapped in a never-ending loop of recursion.

Or:

A novel that repeats the same sentence for 500 pages, with slight variations.

This is the kind of absurdity that will drive a writer to madness and/or a good cup of coffee.
