Dazed Digital: "What’s the link between Reality Hunger and The Thing About Life?"
My Existential Power Lunch With David Shields, on Shaking Lit: "In the spirit of Reality Hunger, I decided not to translate our conversation through the laws of interview, but to describe our hour together exactly as it was – a 20-year-old college student working two jobs to pay the tuition talking to a successful New York Times Bestselling Author about the human condition and literature."
The National: "I’m interested in nonfiction, but a form of it which is very badly behaved, which doesn’t define itself as straight-ahead journalism or memoir. It blurs boundaries, plays fast and loose with the truth – not to be silly, whimsical or lazy, but to get greater purchase on what it feels like to be alive."
