Take a Trip with the Chaos Riddler and Get High on Chaos Riddle Prose.
Who is the Chaos Riddler and what is Chaos Riddle Prose? The Chaos Riddler is the Los Angeles based author, Derek Hunter. He writes in a style he calls Chaos Riddle Prose in order to penetrate, shake up, and distort not only language, narrative, and character development, but perceptions of reality as well. Storytelling is still the driving force behind the stories, but the way in which they're told not only gives the reader another way of enjoying a story but another way of looking at life.
Chaos Riddle Prose is indebted to writers of the past, such as Joyce, Rimbaud, Lautreamont, Baudelaire, De Vere, Plath, Mallarme, Beckett, Celine, Woolf, Dante, Cervantes, Jarry, Strindberg, Pinter, Lispector, Blake, Poe, Bataille, Wilmot, Goethe, Crowley, and Kafka. The style some might say has affinities to Surrealism, Theater of the Absurd, Dadaism, Futurism, Modernism, Post-Modernism, or Stream of Consciousness, yet let it be clear that Chaos Riddle Prose belongs to none of these nor any other. While definitely influenced by these different aesthetic schools of thought, Chaos Riddle Prose separates itself by it's systematic anti-system approach to language and storytelling.
Chaos Riddle Prose sees life itself as one big riddle, having within it an infinite number of individual and distinct riddles. Unlike the standard riddle, with a proposition/question leading to a concrete answer, Chaos Riddle Prose often expresses itself as an enigma and an enigma only. Other times, to avoid redundancy, and "predictable chaos" (which would then no longer be chaos), Chaos Riddle Prose presents the story in clear, easily understood language. The Dramatic Moment is Key.
