I like genre-bending as much as the next person who is not a seventeenth-century French dramatist. But what Reality Hunger actually does is remind us how boring and frustrating this kind of art can be. Genre constraints are, yes, constraining, but they are also a gift: They help texts to function. They prevent, in other words, books like this.
This is why I prefer book reviews by professional book reviewers to ones by freelancing novelists and experts. They have one agenda: sass.
