Answer:

It uses stream of consciousness.

Step-by-step explanation:

The stream of consciousness is a literary style that is very recurrent in modernist literature and it is related to the psychological term where the individual exteriorizes their opinions and thoughts, therefore this story presents 15 characters in 59 chapters where the reader is allowed to get into their minds through the thoughts and opinions presented
