Description
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.

ReviewsHighly persuasive. I can't stop recommending it * The Times * The most provocative, brain-rewiring book of 2010. It's a book that feels at least five years ahead of its time and teaches you how to read it as you go * GQ * Bold, entertaining, contentious. Essential reading for readers and writers * Guardian * Weird, exciting, incendiary * Dazed and Confused *
