Just like that <i>Art Instinct</i> book last year. Of course, there's nothing remotely new about those collage and remixing techniques he mentions. A lot of hot air. The novel will survive long after no one remembers who David Shields was. As for cars, I've driven a number of Mercedes models which make up to 200 km/h and probably higher. The fastest was probably the CLK convertible I had as a rental once. My current car, an A Class Mercedes, maxes out at around 200. I don't usually drive that fast, even though I live in the country of no speed limit highways. If I hit a little frequented stretch of highway, I do try out how fast a car will go. But anything above 180 km/h is unpleasant to me. That Shields bloke seems to be pushing his book all over the place, because Reality Hunger is everywhere. Just like that Art Instinct book last year.
