The technique of depicting multiple characters and perspectives is a specialty of 'The Sound and the Fury'. But upon closer inspection, there are some differences, which not only come from the differences in the era described in the book, but also reflect in the character creation. This involves the author's perspective on character development and the control of the distance between the author and the characters themselves: Ben Lerner maintains a homogeneous narrative tone and tone in different chapters of the characters. The fundamental reason is that the author further internalizes the Kundera style novel creation technique of interweaving narration and criticism, internalizing the author's own ideas and criticisms into the characters' inner monologues.
