which is according to you, imagining that books do a voice, the LOUDEST book/story you have read?
"Loud" writing, to me, would be writing that is full of diatribe, bias, prejudice. If I were to find a book's voice to be loud I would also find it to be unreadable. One example I can think of is a novel I picked up on a whim about some kind of special forces/military character written in the first person. The intended audience was obviously people who already bought into a similar mentality: the world is a dangerous dog-eat-dog place full of booby traps and ambushes and it's survival of the fittest. I abandoned the book after one chapter or so. I'd say it's about the loudest fiction I've encountered.
The "loudest" book, in my opinion, has to be William S. Burroughs' "Nova Express."
I can think of a few beat generation novels that keep a frenzied, almost maniacal, pace, but "Nova" is insanely fast and "loud."
Pound a few Red Bulls and read it quickly, and see if your eyes don't light up like a blowtorch.
Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas

I always thought Kafka was pretty loud when he wrote books in first person.
Nova is pure madness. I can't say it was enjoyable, but it was definitely unique. Burroughs was such a despicable person in real life that I can't help but to love him. If you ever pick it up you will understand why I say an energy drink or two would put you in the right frame of mind.Quote:
