Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Edouard Dujardin's The Bays are Sere, first published in 1887, was the first novel written entirely in interior monologue or stream of consciousness. For a long time its impact was dormant, until James Joyce read it in 1903 and subsequently revealed its influence upon him. As a result it was republished to great acclaim in 1924, after which Dujardin wrote Interior Monologue, an essay on the origin of this style and how he came to adopt it.
