Transcription of My Class Notes
A little exercise
Check out Hour of the Star from library. The idea of fiction is that it’s a continuous dream. The narrator is really strange and stilted. Hard to listen to. Oh my god it smells so bad in here. Girl wrap up… Doesn’t explain itself to you. Sensory closeness, not just detail, but closeness. How can you bring sensory detail close to a reader’s ear? Everyone else has a better take than I did, which is alright I guess, because I’ve only seen like 20 minutes of this movie—why am I expecting praise for my bullshit? Make it highly, highly, HIGHLY fictionalized. Girl… Identity can only be explored fully in an environment where your base needs are met. Explored? Discovered? Flourish? How will I be with students if I get so frustrated? [Drawing of side of building]
