Doctor Brew[57] What’s left for the novel? the antinovel … the cut-up technique developed for film/cinema [cf. Subimal Misra] … already in the 50s & 60s writers were asking what the novel could do … not just ceding certain ground to cinema, but acknowledging that readers need/want different things at different times … sometimes it isn’t a question of what to do, but just a sense … an intuition that the void need not be filled with anything … I’m thinking of Rayner Heppenstall & B.S. Johnson, but already this is old news. almost as if reading anything not on a screen is an act of … not only tremendous will, but sabotage. This is the Film Diary of My Every Day Life … as such not just me, but we all are seduced by the image that we are the main character in the movie of our lives, but haunted by the knowledge that the theater is empty … we play to the audience of none : look at me! look at me!
