“and barcelona with water streaming through”
Throughout ‘Ampersand’, the most visible and important technique is the stream-of-consciousness, which is intended to mirror the narrative psyche providing a string of interesting and disorientating images and senses merged together seamlessly. For example, the ‘stains falling from chimneys’ gives the impression that the events are currently unfolding, lending an immediacy to the work and allowing a rhythm to build throughout that often reflects the narrative and abandons the rigid five- part story structure in favour of a more dynamic and expressive form. We can sense the presence of the narrative persona through his style of communication, allowing a more effective bond to develop between the persona and the reader.
