<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Twenty-three great literary voices offer short stories based on songs from one of rock music's great cult bands--Sonic Youth. The outcome is a dark, edgy, and impressive collection of literature.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>For more than twenty-five years, the antimelodic "noise" of Sonic Youth has assaulted us, exhilarated us, inspired us. Why?</p><p>Katherine Dunn says it's because they operate in the foggy world between the real and the surreal. Mary Gaitskill says that Sonic Youth caught her, years ago, when she was falling. J. Robert Lennon says it's because Sonic Youth rip it apart. Emily Maguire was hooked because once she was in love with chaos. </p><p>Their sound is caustic, elemental, nihilistic--and quite unlike any other cult band ever to achieve rock godhood. In <em>Noise</em>, twenty-one great literary voices offer short fiction based on or inspired by songs from Sonic Youth--a raucous coupling of music and literature featuring marrow-colored goo, severed hands and abandoned babies, Patty Hearst watching the apocalypse on TV, and other unruly images of the Zeitgeist.</p><p>Contributors <br />Hiag Akmakjian - Christopher Coake - Katherine Dunn - Mary Gaitskill - Rebecca Godfrey - Laird Hunt - Shelley Jackson - J.
