Stream of Consciousness Literature in The 21st Century

Stream of consciousness continues to appear in contemporary literature, expanding on the innovations of predecessors. Dave Eggers's A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius (2000),and Roberto Bolaño's By Night in Chile, (2000) are among the last examples of the old century. The first decade brought further exploration, including Jonathan Safran Foer's Everything is Illuminated (2002) and Will Christopher Baer's Phineas Poe trilogy (2005). Mark Z. Danielewski's Only Revolutions (2006), Dimitris Lyacos's "Z213: Exit" (2009) and Iimani David's "Anathema Rhodes" (2009) are late-decade entries also worthy of mention.
