Annie Dillard, John Roberts
I’ve always said the only way to be a good writer is to be a good reader. You can’t do it consciously. You can’t say, “This is how you need to structure a sentence.” But your mind structures the words and it sees them, and when you try to write them again, they tend to come out better because your mind is thinking of what was a pleasing sentence to read and remembers that when you try to write. — Chief Justice John Roberts 2

D. Shields, Kathleen Steele
A manifesto is usually understood as a public declaration of the aims and values of an individual or group, and often signals a radical break from convention. In the case of Reality Hunger it is impossible to locate a cohesive set of intentions, or the what that Shields is attempting to break. Perhaps this is Shields’ intention, given his hostility toward genre, nevertheless it is a shame that the relationship between intertexts (in this case all forms of cultural expression including internet; movies; music; traditionally published literatures; television) and the perception of reality is compressed into a series of aphoristic quotes that far from speaking to, and enriching, each other, seem to be conducting separate conversations on vaguely related subjects. The effect on the reader, although not necessarily unpleasant, is disorientating – akin to standing in the centre of a large room and catching snatches of an interesting conversation, but never enough to gain a complete understanding. In his chapter titled ‘manifesto’, Shields claims that few novelists manage to capture the ‘complexity of life’ in rich linguistic terms, making one wonder if he has confused reality with authentic experience (200). He heaps scorn on the ‘standard novel’, but does not properly define one, offering instead a series of statements that suggest lyric essays and poetry are more closely aligned with the serious business of philosophy and science, and are, therefore, more likely to ‘figure out something about the world’ (202). Novels on the other hand, (with the exception of the special cases chosen by Shields) deliver genre-laden artifice without answers. Can he really believe this? Art after all, is about asking questions, not answering them. Reality Hunger includes an exhortation to the reader to accept that the old forms of publishing are passé: given the accessibility of the net, a confident artist should embrace the freedom and creative exchange possible within the public domain and publish without copyright. Shields cites musicians who released albums free to the net and went on to make profits, but overlooks cases such as Stephen King’s, whose novel The Plant was released in instalments via the net, with readers trusted to pay through an honour system. When payments dipped to 46% on the fourth installment, the project was suspended. Allowing free access to all written works, artistic images, songs and movies is a lovely ideal, but an artist without legal copyright would not receive remuneration, and their work could be used and changed without their consent. One can only assume Shields does not quite believe what he is advocating: his manifesto comes in an oldfashioned paperback, complete with three pages of commendations from established authors, copyright clauses and, on the Australian edition, a Getty image on the cover. Surely the strongest manifestos are those advocated via action, not rhetoric? My biggest disappointment with Shields’ manifesto is his la

J. Bailey, Anna S. Cohen
Hilary Bethancourt was awarded a NICHD (Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development) training fellowship from the Center for Studies in Demography and Ecology. The fellowship will support her in the coming academic year to work with a number of CSDE faculty affiliates on projects that will help her to expand her research skills and improve the study design of her PhD dissertation project on the health effects of periodic dietary restrictions among Eastern Orthodox Christians in the United States.
