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).

“If you have abandoned one faith, do not abandon all faith. There is always an alternative to the faith we lose. Or is it the same faith under another mask?”
—Graham Greene (1904–1991)
“The most passionate, consistent, extreme and implacable enemy of the Enlightenment and ... all forms of rationalism ... was Johann Georg Hamann. His influence, direct and indirect, upon the romantic revolt against universalism and scientific method ... was considerable and perhaps crucial.”
