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.

Famous quotes containing the words literature and/or century:
“It is the nature of the artist to mind excessively what is said about him. Literature is strewn with the wreckage of men who have minded beyond reason the opinions of others.”
—Virginia Woolf (1882–1941)
“At first,
our bodies were as one.
Then
you were unloving,
but I still played the wretched favorite.
Now
you’re the master
and we’re the wife.
What’s next?
This is the fruit I reap
from my diamond-hard life.”
—Amaru (c. seventh century A.D.)
