the psychological realism in “the 100 year old man who jumped out of the window and disappeared” by jonas jonasson

-Thoughts are sometimes memories, “cinematic flickering” or retrospect. This means the narrative will flash backwards and forwards in time, focusing on the character’s mind and memory, instead of daily journey.

-Novelists necessitate heavy imagery–images fuse with sound and sight, forming a perceptual experience.

-No traditional story line.

-Readers presented with character’s consciousness and must move through the character’s thought patterns and subconscious.

-Use of stream of conscious technique.

-Motif (flexible) of a quest–ceaseless becoming.

-There is a creation of self-by-self for the character(s).

-Fluid reality– must be captured before becoming aloss.

-Merging of past, present and future through sensory perception. The present loses its static nature and fades into additional levels of time. This forms what Virginia Wolf calls a “luminous halo.”

Last but not least, mention of famous writers of this style, like Virginia woolfe, hennery james and james joyce should be refeered to at some point.
also, the fact that the author is Swedish and that this is a bestselling novel should be mentioned
