Alternative Forms
Daniel Clowes' graphic novel "Like a Velvet Glove Cast in Iron" is an example of stream of consciousness writing in cartoon-form. Michael Cunningham's 1998 The Hours, which is an homage to Woolf's Mrs. Dalloway, makes use of stream of consciousness, while the subsequent film adaptation also employs this narrative device. In fact, the film Adaptation can be considered a fine example of stream of consciousness in screen-writing. David Lodge, in the final chapter of The British Museum Is Falling Down, parodies the form. John Frusciante, noted guitarist of the popular rock band Red Hot Chili Peppers, uses a version of this technique in the lyrics for Niandra Lades and Usually Just a T-Shirt (1994) and Smile From The Streets You Hold (1997).

Famous quotes containing the words alternative and/or forms:
“It is a secret from nobody that the famous random event is most likely to arise from those parts of the world where the old adage “There is no alternative to victory” retains a high degree of plausibility.”
—Hannah Arendt (1906–1975)
“Literary works cannot be taken over like factories, or literary forms of expression like industrial methods. Realist writing, of which history offers many widely varying examples, is likewise conditioned by the question of how, when and for what class it is made use of.”
—Bertolt Brecht (1898–1956)
