"I am interested in knowing the secrets that connect human beings," writes David Shields in Reality Hunger, A Manifesto. "At the very deepest level, all our secrets are the same."
Shields maintains that all the best stories are true. But how we tell them is changing. He packs a lot of contemporary wisdom into his pint-sized essays.
"We all need to begin figuring out how to tell as story for the cell phone. One thing I know: it’s not the same as telling a story for a full-length DVD."
