Abstract
Bohumil Hrabal's novel Too Loud a Solitude is seen to comprise of two parallel narrative discourses which follow different epistemological principles. Whereas the first of the narrative voices which formulate the ontological discourse relies heavily upon Hrabal's use of intersexual references to canonical western texts, authorial figures and allusions to the Desecration Cogito, the alternate non-ontological discourse tries to understand the experiences and encounters of the narrator Hanta, who works at as compactor of wastepaper and old books.
