What are some other books like this?
I mean sense of no time or an exact location. Feel like there is no difference between first and last pages.
Feeling like it is a whole organism consisting of same and identical parts.
Lolita and V. are similar, in that the reader must forgo their sense of 'what's happening' to appreciate the prose

Prospero's Cell by Lawrence Durrell. Sure, being a travel journal, it's well situated in both time and space but there is no narrative thread and it's got that dreamy feeling in gorgeous prose.
The Unconsoled by Ishiguro

Einstein's Dreams by Alan Lightman. not as good as Calvino's book but uses similar structure, if i recall correctly. it's been a while since i've read either.

Gracq is a hack and no way comparable to Calvino

Einstein's Dreams is basically the poor man's version of this. Borges Ficciones is an obvious fit.

This definitely has a similar dreamlike quality, to the point of being unnerving.
It's great.

All of Beckett, but I've the feeling he isn't what you're asking for.
