Description
Reality Hunger: A Manifesto by David Shields is a provocative exploration of our culture's obsession with 'reality'. Shields argues that artistic movements often seek to inject more of what the artist perceives as reality into their work, and that this quest for authenticity drives many creative pursuits. In an era marked by manufactured and artificial worlds, Shields identifies a group of artists who are pushing against these boundaries. They strive to incorporate randomness, accident, and spontaneity into their work, while actively engaging with their audience and taking risks with form and genre. This book is a radical attempt to reframe our understanding of truth, literary license, and the relationship between fiction and nonfiction. Shields' audacious stance on these issues will undoubtedly spark debate and discussion among readers. With its rigorous analysis and diverse sources, Reality Hunger is a thought-provoking work that challenges readers to rethink their assumptions about reality and its representation in art.
