Twenty years on, and he's still shaking it up with this interconnected set of stories that goes forward and back and all times in between, part memoir, part fiction, centering around a band of brothers during the Vietnam War. I love books that shake up genre like David Small's memoir Stitches that I already posted on.Claire Rudolf Murphyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11520445613916601377noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1755502616289652010.post-56583422284794764162010-05-04T11:38:59.822-05:002010-05-04T11:38:59.822-05:00Aren't "movements" really just trend...Aren't "movements" really just trends that are so well-received that many writers start using them? Joyce, Faulkner and others utilized Freud's theories, focused on issues of their times, and Modernism was the result. The isolated experiments you describe may become movements if writers and editors like them enough. Isn't that where Movements are born? Is the current focus on crossover adult/YA memoir-style (fiction and nonfiction) narratives a movement?Debra McArthurhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07434251789378141335noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1755502616289652010.post-44665629433197759432010-05-04T07:17:16.034-05:002010-05-04T07:17:16.034-05:00Still thinking about this.

If so, does the market drive movement in visual arts the way it now does in publishing?Marsha Qualeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02506544531376399293noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1755502616289652010.post-29185635009957519632010-05-03T21:20:47.571-05:002010-05-03T21:20:47.571-05:00Lots to chew on, Lisa.

In addition to the limitations of form, I wonder if the private nature of reading has something to do with the lack of movements in literature?Marsha Qualeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02506544531376399293noreply@blogger.com
