What author has the most unique style of writing in your opinion ?

Question

I enjoy Mitch Albom's style of writing. whos style do you prefer best ?

Answer 1

Would you settle for a poet? If so, examine Allan Ginsberg. He is world-famous for a thin volume called "HOWL & Other Poems". He was a "beat poet", using the language of the street and "hip" vocabulary; he also carved his own path insofar as his style is concerned. Have not looked myself, but cannot imagine his work and some bio information uisn't here online somewhere....or in many "somewheres."

If you want something more historically based, try Walt Whitman. He was writing about 100 years before Ginsberg. Perhaps more people know poems of his like "When Lilacs Last in the Dooryard Bloom'd" -- about the feelings after President Lincoln was murdered. There is a verty good edition of "Leaves of Grass" with great annotations available in most larger bookstores. Libraries worth the name will also have it.

Answer 2

I like Mitch Albom and Meg Cabot

Answer 3

I was going to say P.D. James or Hemingway, who are really just two of my favorite authors who I think have a unique writing style, but whoever said Charles Bukowski definitely wins at life...I had actually forgotten about him. He really is incredibly unique.

Answer 4

OVERRATED AUTHORS: James Patterson--> I really couldn't understand the appeal and hype surrounding Maximum Ride. One page in, and I was out. Even considering it was a children's novel, the writing to me was bland and unsophisticated enough. Even the conceptual idea was admittedly bland. Veronica Roth (author of Divergent)--> Again, I don't get it. I read the entirety of Divergent, and no, you lost me, Roth. I like the stance you took with Tris and how she gets a backbone, but WHOA! she becomes a biatch. Nuh-uh. Here is an example of a novice author. Oh, and so many plotholes... And the ending made me gag. Apparently, Roth needs more knowledge about human behavior and psychology because the ending was so unrealistic. Cassandra Clare---> Okay, I liked her, and I still have a soft spot for this author. She knows how to create suspense in her books, she has a very interesting and appealing concept, and she is a mastermind in getting fangirls and cult gatherings as avid readers and fandoms. Kudos...then, I learned of her past of the author taboo, plagiarism. (Meh. I didn't even care. She plagiarized on her fanfiction. So what? Move on.) Haha. Now, her writing is mediocre at best, too 'flowery, too much purple prose, too many similes, and I spotted a horde of grammatical errors. It was as if it wasn't even edited. That's the simple BASICS of writing--GRAMMAR! Then, her cast of characters--Everybody I like and care about, EXCEPT for her protagonist, Clary. Ew, she so stupid and she thinks she's so tough, but the WORST thing is: she is SO dumb that she runs to danger. STOP. Clary, you're drunk. Go home. *facepalm* (sorry for this rant.) FAVORITE AUTHORS<3: J.K. Rowling--> There's an author who deserves her enormous fame. No, REALLY. Her writing has the perfect blend of humor, sweetness, and grace that compelled me further and further into her Harry Potter world. Characters were aplenty, but she managed to make me love every one of them. Brandon Sanderson--> His books never disappoint. I never liked or even considered the fantasy genre, but because of this dude, I am in awe of them! His concept in each book is diverse, beautiful, epic, and just mind-blowing. By far, he's the smartest author. He employs politics, leadership, and psychology to the max in his books and with such mastery. I've never heard of author with such in-depth knowledge of politics. Oh, gawd, he's too good.

Answer 5

yvevgevny zamyatin- a soviet heretic or dissident writer, he created a type of prose called neorealism , it produced a text with great unity,I read We the sci fi book george orwell read which inspired 1984, it prophesized the totaliarian regime of stalin 8 years before it happened , and there was very little difference in the three books, which is testament to the incredible integrity of this prose style
