The perfect gift—in any amount—with that personal touch of classic old world charm.
Seattle writer and University of Washington professor David Shields takes on writing, perception, reality proposed or reality disposed, and much more, in his rousing new book, Reality Hunger: A Manifesto (Knopf). This work has garnered a goodly amount of pre-publication attention, buzz in all the spheres and zones, from the printed to the virtual. "The subtitle of David Shields' Reality Hunger categorizes it as a 'manifesto,' which is a little like calling a nuclear bomb a 'weapon.' In a series of numbered paragraphs, Shields explores all sorts of categorical distinctions—between fiction and nonfiction, originality and plagiarism, memoir and fabrication, reality and perception. It's a book designed to inspire and to infuriate, and it is sure to do both." - Don McLesse, Kirkus Reviews. "This is the book that our sick-at-heart moment needs—like a sock in the jaw or an electric jolt in the solar plexus—to wake it up." - Wayne Koestenbaum.
