How can you do this in a book? I've been trying to think of examples and the best I can come up with are books that are told from the perspective and the style of the protagonist. A recent example is The slow regard of silent things. Rather than trying to explain what's going on in Auri's head -which is probably impossible- it is written like Auri would write it, using the words Auri would use, and not bothering with explanations for the names or the logic behind her worries or decisions. All the while maintaining a traditional third person narrator.
