“The story is about trust in creation, not about acceptance by the times.”

In this explosive booklet, Ariana Hurwitz confronts the conventions of contemporary culture, challenging the role of the writer in an age of flattering marketing, ideology, and demands for self-censorship. Combining short pieces, musings, quotes, and personal fragments, Hurwitz confronts questions about creative freedom, the essence of writing, the limits of language, and the pressure to adapt literature to the identity politics that have taken over the discourse.
The Noise of the Times is an original defense read in the hypnotic rhythm of a machine gun. In her brilliant style, Ariana Hurwitz defends artistic freedom and is a necessary voice that does not conform to expectations.

"When I'm ready to go back to writing, I'm like a soldier in a firing position, my finger on the trigger.
Writing appears first, like an antidote, like morphine before ingestion.
What is called style is simply an attempt to prevent the gun from firing at the wrong time.”
