Description
"American reality (space, time, people, and especially things) seems to me closer to cinema than to novels, to rapid editing than to long sequences, to telescoping scenes than to a regular order, to rage than to courage, to instinct than to the mind. If American reality resembles a feature film, the life of an American is a video clip. It is for all these reasons that American writers (I am not talking about those sellers of large packages of vegetables that we find in supermarkets) have so many problems with the novel and seem to excel so powerfully in short stories. The American novel is, generally, a collection of short texts linked together by a flexible and solid thread (the feeling of being American). Just as the life of an American is a collection of facts (the feeling of emptiness). This book is no exception to this rule."
