Stream of Consciousness Writers

Name: Anonymous 2009-11-10 19:21

I am going through a history course right now and they mentioned stream of consciousness writers what are some different stream of consciousness would you guys recommend.

Well, it is basically characterised by interior monologue. And it can encompass a lot of writings.

You might want to try Irvine Welsh's Trainspotting, Catcher in the Rye, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, Bret Easton Ellis, Naked Lunch (the king of them all in my opinion).

While there are plenty of novels that use first-person narration, stream of consciousness generally tries to replicate human thought process.

although a lot of users on /book/ considers him to be for "casuals"

kerouacs 'on the road' is considered one of the best stream of consciousness writings i think, but hunter s thompson and burroughs are also very good.

Get the fuck out of here if you don't know what Stream of Consciousness is.

On The Road, Burroughs, Catcher in the Rye, Hunter S. Thompson are all legitimate examples of Stream of Consciousness.

Don't you have a Community College class to attend?

That's an opinion. Opinions are, by their very definition, subjective.

If you are the same person (which I am sure you are), maybe you would be more inclined to read the works of Dan Brown.

Ulysses is a good novel and not just because I wear scarfs or drink cappuccinos.

Cool. But that doesn't change the fact that Kerouac, Burroughs, Hunter Thompson and Bret Easton Ellis are not that good

In your opinion.

surely the finest examples..

Virginia Woolf - Mrs. Dalloway
William Faulkner - The Sound & The Fury

yes

The Waves by Woolf is arguably a stronger example due to its heavy use of object identification via metaphoric assocation.

Though Dalloway isn't half as annoying to read.

Burroughs - Naked Lunch
Hesse - Steppenwolf
Parts of Pessoa's 'Book of Disquiet'.
