Antoine Roquentin, a French writer, finds himself inexorably drawn into a narrative of his own existence that is accompanied by a pervasive, overpowering sense of nausea. His recounting of emotions and sensations, in the form of an impressionistic diary, is likened to a viscous puddle of "wide, soft instants" that spreads out-- like an oil stain -- at the bottom of our era of “purple suspenders and broken chair seats.”
