Requiem For a Dream by Hubert Selby Jr, which was adapted to film by Aronofsky… the author removes punctuation such as periods commas and quotation marks so that we don’t know if something is a thought spoken a narrative detail and where anything ends really it is really interesting it has a dissonant effect by doing this the author effectively puts the reader in the perspective of a heroin addict dissociating and confused with disconnected and interupted thoughts it is just as chilling reading as it is watching Daren Aronofsky’s directing effects i really recommend this book for anyone that was a fan of the film the book also gives more background to the scenes where it seems the film ended more abruptly i read this back in high school and loved how creative it was creepy and unsettling
