Angry Novels ? What are the angriest books you've ever read ?

[spiltteeth]

Invisible Man by Ralph Ellison and This Boy's Like by Wolf are books crackling with rage ? What are some of the angriest newels you've ever read ?

The Ragged Trousered Philanthropists and The Grapes of Wrath probably.

Atomised by Michel Houellebecq

The book has such a bad reputation. I confess to only picking it up for prurient reasons. It was actually a lot smarter and less smutty than I had been led to believe. Very angry though, and also obnoxious - but I think that was kind of the point.

The Loneliness of the Long-distance Runner is hard to beat for continuous determined nastiness. Partly it's an attempt at the mind of an alienated dysfunctional rebel but it's also the product of an embittered English ex-RAF demobee. The author himself.

Notes from Underground by Dostoyevsky.

Came in here to post this. (Invisible Man is a good choice too.) Thomas Bernhard's entire body of work counts, probably (Woodcutters is the first book of his that was banned in Austria, so maybe that). 2666 by Roberto Bolano. William Gass' novels.
