Stream of consciousness was the pinnacle of literary technique. It is the ultimate literary style that ultimately shitted up the market with imitations of the real thing (very few authors do it well).
Post your favorite SoC writers, books and say why you love it or hate it.

>pinnacle of literary technique
Its quite literally the shallowest most contrived form of writing imaginable, all it produces is garbage like Burroughs.
>>

It did produce garbage, but it also produced Finnegan's Wake.
And yes, these two things are mutually exclusive.

The problem with SoC is that you have to be genuinely intelligent and well learned to pull it off. You also have to be a bit intelligent to appreciate it as well, which is why we have retards like this guy not understanding it and lashing out at those who do.
That said, it's a tossup between Joyce with Ulysess and Faulkner with TSATF for which one I think is the best.

i bet you think nabokov is a solid stylist

It's completely up to the author's natural genius to produce quality works.

If I wanted to experience a stream of consciousness, I'd think.

I can't stand Nabokov honestly, a contemptible shite hyped up by the establishment. Should have stuck to translating because his opinions are dumb.

I remember when I first got introduced to SoC in high school. You know those art galleries that have literal shit on a canvas on display? That's what SoC is.

DONT TALK ABOUT NABOKOV THAT WAY

For the same reason I love Joyce, Wolf, and Faulkner. The technique lets me experience, however obliquely, what it's like to think and feel as another person.

But Burroughs isn't even stream of conciousness
