Reality Hunger: A Manifesto

Reality Hunger: A Manifesto

by David Shields (Author)

Synopsis

"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.
