Reality Hunger: A Manifesto
David Shields
The recent plagiarism discourse got me thinking about David Shields' Reality Hunger, how much I love that book. Even did an interview with David back in the BOTR days about this book. It lead me to this excellent review by @jamiattenberg. https://www.bookforum.com/print/1605/david-shields-makes-a-case-against-the-seduction-of-fiction-5006

Art Objects: Essays on Ecstasy and Effrontery
Jeanette Winterson
@nathandueck I believe that Jeanette Winterson wrote something like “the world has been hemmed in by posts.” Art Objects. Beautiful book that should be in every library. Pub’s early-mid 90’s?
