In the introduction to my edition, written by Joe R. Lansdale, this book is described as "stream of consciousness" and name-checks William Faulkner as a similar s-o-c author. I personally do not care for Faulkner's work, but I'd agree with that assessment of the book, certainly in what I'd describe as its swampy menacing vibe.
