'EXCITING, INCENDIARY' DAZED & CONFUSED

'SMART, STIMULATING, PROVOCATIVE, ENTERTAINING' GUARDIAN

'HIGHLY PERSUASIVE. I CAN'T STOP RECOMMENDING IT' THE TIMES

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.

'Refuses to sit still, leaping among ideas, arguments, programmatic declarations, aphorisms, personal asides, history, and etymology. For anyone frustrated, disappointed, or confused about the purpose of literature in the 21st century . . . Reality Hunger is a must-read'
TORONTO STAR
