I'm trying to understand this technique, that's why I'm asking this question here, so if my question doesn't belong to this subreddit then please inform me.
I first have to admit that my first language isn't English, and I haven't read the novel in it's original language. I read bits and pieces of a translated version, and it was a headache to say the least. I also read some posts of people struggling to comprehend the novel even though their mother tongue is English, so it seems that the problem isn't the translation, rather, it's the nature and style of the prose.
It seems, to me at least, to be more fragmented, incohesive, less coherent than today's application of stream of consciousness. So am I not accurate in my analysis or there is indeed a difference there?
