I’ve come to love this style of writing. While not quite the same, Tim Winton’s Cloud Street felt similar. Just raw thoughts, no rules.

  They still respect writing rules, in fact - except for the capitalizations. If they wrote, say, phonetically instead, the text would become utterly unreadable, even though the raw thoughts in one's head aren't expressed in written English.

  Capitalization would not change the content at all, but would make it easier to read. People reading English have expectations are capitalization. Breaking those expectations makes the text more difficult to read and feel less effortless.

    It’s a stylistic choice, it doesn’t have to cater to peoples expectations.

      Sure, it doesn’t have to. But it will affect ease of reading for most readers who are accustomed to more “standard” written English.
