OP Yep, I think that's about the long and short of it.
(You mean Virginia Woolf, right? Or did Tom Wolfe also write stream-of-consciousnessly?)
Edit: On second thought, I think a better way of putting it would be: Joyce's characters think speech while Faulkner's and (to a lesser extent) Woolf's characters just experience thought. In the Benjamin or Quentin Compson episodes of The Sound and the Fury, just to give one little example, there's a lot of grammatical mish-mash—an attempt to give to a web of words the texture of a mental state. I may be deceived, but the interior monologues of Joyce's characters, on the other hand, are grammatical, or at least no different from how they actually speak "out loud".
