Reality Hunger

Informationen zum Autor David Shields is the author of nine previous books, including the New York Times bestseller The Thing About Life Is That One Day You'll Be Dead and Black Planet , a finalist for the National Book Critics Circle Award. His work has been translated into a dozen languages. www.davidshields.com Klappentext REALITY HUNGER is a manifesto radically reframing of how we might think about literary licence, quotation, and appropriation in television, film, performance art, rap, and graffiti, in lyric essays, prose poems, and collage novels. It is certain to be one of the most controversial and talked about books of the season. Zusammenfassung Reality Hunger questions every assumption we ever made about art, the novel, journalism, poetry, film, TV, rap, stand-up, graffiti, sampling, plagiarism, writing, and reading. In seeking to tear up the old culture in search of something new and more authentic, it is the most vital book of the new century.
