What is the genre of The Sniper by Liam?

"The Sniper" by Liam O'Flaherty is generally considered a work of literary modernism and a modernist short story. Modernism emphasizes individual subjectivity, experimentation with form and style, social commentary, disillusionment with tradition, fragmented narratives, stream of consciousness techniques, a sense of disconnection, and alienation to reflect a complex and chaotic modern existence. "The Sniper," with its exploration of psychological tension, internal conflict, moral quandaries, and its stream-of-consciousness techniques to depict the sniper's thoughts and emotions during an intense moment of violence, exemplifies characteristics commonly associated with the modernist movement in literature.
