"We have no memories from our childhood, only memories that pertain to our childhood" so EVERY time I tell a story about my past, I'm telling a story ABOUT a story. UMMM WHAT?!?! #realityhunger #storiesofstories

"Anything processed by memory is fiction". assuming this is true, then EVERY memoir is fiction and EVERY autobiography is a novel. WHY are we still fighting about genres? #realityhunger #memoryisfiction

"You're in costume, and you're not really fooling anybody." THISSSSSSS!!! Why do we pretend fiction isn't pretending? At least nonfiction admits what it is (or does it). #realityhunger #clownsuit

"When did you know you were going to catch the ball?"
Ichiro: "When I caught it".
this is what he means by being "present in reality"—no B.S., no story, just the thing itself. #realityhunger #ichirozen

"As a work gets more autobiographical, more intimate, more confessional, more embarrassing, it breaks into fragments". is he saying truth is inherently fragmented or that we can't handle sustained truth? #realityhunger #fragments

"What happens when an essay begins to behave less like an essay and more like a poem?" isn't that just short story? i feel like he's overcomplicating simple ideas #realityhunger #genreanxiety

the novel was always mixing nonfiction with fiction. Henry James tried to "purify" it. so modernism equals killing the novel's diversity? somehow that tracks #realityhunger #hybridform

so he's saying the Bible incorporated real laws and folktales, so it's a collage? is he arguing that scripture is like a remix? That feels absolutely insane/crazy BUT ALSO kinda true? #realityhunger #scriptureasremix

"Raw material, seemingly unprocessed, unfiltered, uncensored." BUT the Zapruder film WAS processed—edited, replayed, AND analyzed to death. nothing stays raw once we look at it. #realityhunger #nothingisraw

section 2 is SO chaotic with borat, barbie dolls, and scripted improv. what do they even have in common? Is he saying ANY blur between real/fake counts as this movement? #realityhunger #catchallcategory

Shields says every art movement tries to "smuggle more of what the artist thinks is reality into the work." But does the artist or the audience, or even who, decide what counts as real? #realityhunger #realitycheck

The audio made me wonder... about the environments, and how they made me feel. If I were watching, I never would have noticed that. The anti-environment was most definitely present here #atmospherestudy #irealizethepoint

What surprised me was the smooth transitions and how they transitioned from one setting to the next. I think if the audio was synced correctly with visuals, it would've hit much differently since I wouldn't have noticed due to my attention being on the visuals #atmospherestudy #smoothcriminal
