Can’t wait to tear into Labatut. Shields works on “realism” is so weird. That is not to say I don’t enjoy reading it. It just feels to me like the old naturalist anti-realist rhetoric...”make it alive” “fill it with life-ness.” What do you mean, Mr. Shields? “If you have to ask, you are dead.”

Thanks Nick! I need to read more of Shields' stuff after Reality Hunger. He seems like an interesting writer but got kind of shelved after that book.
