Hello,
Im looking for something to read which should be in the direction of:
cynical, modern, fast, agressive, insulting.. or grotesque factbook. I can best coin it: Ugly Literature.
Details:
-style: dynamic, fast, not settled at all or longbreathed
-radical ("sick,crazy/")
-humor no problem
-mean in a gruesone way, not splatter, but abstract negativity
-not too trivial, but can pretend to be
-challenging in literary terms (or scientific,etc..)
-dramatic concept beyond theory application must be there (no nouveau roman, expressionism,etc) and/or extremly brutal (no spatter), mean, agressibe, sarcastic, cynic, politically incorrect, or any other negative property.
-not classical
-not emotionally-kitchy, not even the slightest hint
-no lyrical sentiments
Similar to: Victor Pelewin, Irvene Welsh, Charles Bukowski, Thomas Bernhard,Paul Auster,Danielewski, Ellis,
Thompson, Chuck Palahniuk, Houellebeq, Jelinek (partly), and most of all: Bernemann, John NIven, Banksy (genre overlaps no problem)
Absurd or exposing nonfiction as well
york - Dictators-Homes-Lifestyles-Colourful-Despots
kurz - blackbook capitalism
Then its just about how wired the facts are, but they should have a definite negative edge.
Anybody got a clue?
Thanks!
