On the sinister side of the street (and strongly related to Dostoevksy) is
the walk of Comrade Ossipon near the end of Conrad's _The Secret Agent_ -
it's very brief, a couple of paragraphs or so, but significant.

The main character of an outstanding Polish ninghteenth
century novel called "Lalka" in Polish ("The Doll"?) makes a
lot of walking on the streets of Warsaw.
Also, you have to have a look at Edouard Dujardin's short
story called "Les lauries sont coupes" in French. It could
be important because it is a crucial book for understanding
of streem of consciousness, so it is a step towards Ulisses
by Joyce.
Please, look also into Dostoyevsky's "Idiot" and analyze a
walk by Myszkin when walking has a symbolic meaning and it
is a beginning of another attack of "madness".
