Stream of Consciousness is a literary approach which was pioneered by Dorthy Richardson, Virginia Woolf, and James Joyce. This technique is characterized by a flow of thoughts and images, which often lack coherence and a clear organization. The plot line may weave in and out of time and place so that it is only through the heart-felt complaints from the characters that one can comprehend it to some extent. In our country, Iran, this new style was welcomed by novelists such as Sadegh Hedayat and Sadegh Choobak. The latter in a novel named "sang-e saboor has portrayed the complex and horrific mental illness of story characters, and for penetrating into their psychological depths of their minds, has used this technique, with a special emphasis on the internal monologue method. Sang-e Saboor" implying the method which is based on free association and combined with a black naturalism is one of the best samples of this special style of story-telling.
