The Stranger
Nausea
The Catcher in the Rye

Hunger by Hamsun
wtf i hate existentialism now
Not a novel, but The Lucid Eye in Silver Town
>>9516095
Then you hate truth.
>>9516059
Stephen absolutely wanders around Dublin in Ulysses, are you dumb? He winds up the library and a bar, among other things. Also he lives in a lighthouse.
>>9516131
But he's not narrating by then, retard.
>>9516138
The action of the novel is focused on him, and we hear his thoughts. Bloom doesn't "narrate" either, strictly speaking. Neither of them do.
>>9515979
>mishima
Which one, because I don't really see it.
>>9516070
>A Group of people wander around enjoying life together through simple pleasures
>>9516099
How deliciously post-modern
>>9516175
Post-war forgettery. You'd think he could've added a dungeon crawl or boss battle or something.
>>9516026
not a young man, the guy in the book was on his 40s when it all happened
ask the dust
factotum
post office
hunger

Oblomov
that kid is cool af, is this a candid photo??
>>9515944
Also Tropic of Cancer
>>9515962
More than half of Notes from Underground is written from the perspective of a 40 year old man, and the entirety of the text is dialectic.
>>9516710
he doesn't walk around a city and it takes place over his entire life up to early adulthood.

crime and punishment?
>>9515944
+The Age of Reason
+The Man Without Qualities
+The Castle
>>9517765
+Amerika
>>9515861
You might as well change this to "Novel that features internal monologue" because that's what you are listing
>>9517768
+The Metamorphosis (a disillusioned young bug wanders around the ceiling--close enough)
>>9517926
+ The Gospels (ok, the city and a few towns and villages in the general area, whatever)
>>9517931
Exodus
>>9517931
+Odyssey (sure, he was more like middle aged by then, and he wanders around the Mediterranean, but what are waterways if not metaphoric streets?--you just got to keep an open mind with things like this)
>>9515861
>>9516012
Un homme qui dort is the textbook example of this.
