Pynchon is the undisputed heavyweight of obscurity, using dense, labyrinthine prose. His sentences are sprawling interconnected networks, each one a dead end leading to a new, bewildering passage.
Jack Kerouac dances across the page with a stream of consciousness style that's spontaneous, a whirlwind of sensory impressions, capturing the raw energy of youth and rebellion.
Carlos Zafon weaves intricate tales of love, his prose is as rich and layered as the ancient manuscripts that populate his novels.
So while Pynchon's dense convoluted prose can be a daunting challenge, it rewards patient readers. Kerouac is raw and poetic. Zafon is gothic and atmospheric transporting the reader to a world of mystery and intrigue.

OK, but what do you think yourself?
ReplyDeleteI didn't get to read Zafon but will certainly plug away at (read) the other two. Well done in your choices.
