Dixon Indulges 'Stream-of-Conscienceless' Technique

Gould is great as far as character development, et al. But what becomes apparent is the soullessness of the main character. If I want soullessness, I'll read She's Come Undone. Still, though, Dixon's the man. I think he should do something really experimental and, just one time, come up with a new form. This novel would've benefitted greatly from a more conventional structure.
