I think I agree with the Joyce assessment. But after
Joyce? I think it shifts to France, as far as Western
lit. goes [with some important exceptions]. Alain
Robbe-Grillet, the Surrealist writers like Jacques
Prevert, Rene Crevel, Antonin Artaud, etc. ). Even
Joyce ascribed his use of stream of consciousness to
Dujardin's 1888 novel Les Lauriers sont Coupés.

But then, I'm a Francophile.

Au revoir,
