Just from the top of my head:
Notes from Underground
The Stranger
Nausea
The Catcher in the Rye
Ulysses
Most of these don't fit at all
Oh so you haven't read more than half of those
i just read crime and punishment
I've read all of them actually, and they all fit (Ulysses mixes it up a bit of course, but basically fits).
Wtf you got me.
Hunger
amsterdam stories
mishima
someone should make a chart
you cant win - jack black
upvoted on chart
is this bait or are you really this horrifyingly stupid?
do you have an argument or do you always respond with ad hominem?
Most of Houllebecqs novels would fit too
are you talking about mishima? yeah. if youre talking about the chart part, and i dont know about one, then nah. but im not sure that makes me horrifyingly stupid bud. relax faggot.
thought you were responding to me. my bad, maybe i am retarded.
here's the list we have so far:
houllebecq
amsterdam stories
mishima
you cant win - jack black
hunger
notes from underground
the stranger
nausea
catcher in the rye
Tropic of Cancer
Steppenwolf

Hunger by Hamsun
wtf i hate existentialism now
Not a novel, but The Lucid Eye in Silver Town
Then you hate truth.
Stephen absolutely wanders around Dublin in Ulysses, are you dumb? He winds up the library and a bar, among other things. Also he lives in a lighthouse.
But he's not narrating by then, retard.
The action of the novel is focused on him, and we hear his thoughts. Bloom doesn't "narrate" either, strictly speaking. Neither of them do.
>mishima
Which one, because I don't really see it.
>A Group of people wander around enjoying life together through simple pleasures
How deliciously post-modern
Post-war forgettery. You'd think he could've added a dungeon crawl or boss battle or something.
not a young man, the guy in the book was on his 40s when it all happened
ask the dust
factotum
post office
hunger
the savage dectives
Journey to the end of the night
Confessions of a Mask
Oblomov
that kid is cool af, is this a candid photo??
Also Tropic of Cancer
More than half of Notes from Underground is written from the perspective of a 40 year old man, and the entirety of the text is dialectic.
he doesn't walk around a city and it takes place over his entire life up to early adulthood.
notebooks of malte briggs

crime and punishment?
+The Age of Reason
+The Man Without Qualities
+The Castle
+Amerika
You might as well change this to "Novel that features internal monologue" because that's what you are listing
+The Metamorphosis (a disillusioned young bug wanders around the ceiling--close enough)
+ The Gospels (ok, the city and a few towns and villages in the general area, whatever)
You forgot "Fathers and Sons" and "A Hero of Our TIme"
>Walking around rather than writing his diary and having dinner with acquaintances
MUH SEMANTICS
Exodus
+Odyssey (sure, he was more like middle aged by then, and he wanders around the Mediterranean, but what are waterways if not metaphoric streets?--you just got to keep an open mind with things like this)
Un homme qui dort is the textbook example of this.
