Multi-timezone technique:

He travels through time in the character’s mind using italics and other devices to show the person’s multiple time references to a given scene.

For example, in American Wilderness, you could have Gus go back through time periods when he goes by the bridge where little George fell.

Epiphanies:

Joyce in Dubliners uses a lot of epiphanies

Instead of a traditional expansive life, shown as a curve, it is six individual epiphanies, connected by lines.  so it is more like a geodesic dome than a curve, the circularity is the length of the rays between the epiphanies.
