Publisher's Summary:
In October 2011, Jeff Ragsdale, a down-and-out actor and stand-up comedian, posted a flyer around Lower Manhattan asking people to call him if they wanted to talk. He thought hed get a dozen calls; instead he got hundreds, and then thousands, once pictures of the flyer went viral on the net. The calls came from all over the country and from as far away as Spain, Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Taiwan, and Australia. Jeff spoke to as many people as he could, answering his phone all day long. Here are the conversations, texts, and voicemails of a particular moment in time - a hilarious, dark, intimate portrait of the way we live now.
Critic Reviews:
With Reality Hunger, David Shields offered us a manifest, yet unlike most manifestoes, Reality Hunger actually changed the world. Here, by teaming up with Ragsdale and Logan, Shields has now embodied his ethos - we have crossed over the threshold and are now strangely, terrifyingly, beautifully - in this transformed world. (Nick Flynn, author of Another Bullshit Night in Suck City)
OMG I love this!! Its so Russian - very reminiscent of the Chekhov story Complaint Book (entries in a complaint book at the railway station). (Elif Batuman, author of The Possessed)
Members Reviews:
Not for me.
I think this was actually based on a true story, but I found it to be a bit self serving. I just didn't personally care for it.
Five Stars
I would've liked to see his part of the conversations too, but this was a really cool book.
Jeff, One Lonely Guy
Jeff, for being one lonely guy you've made your journey a wonderful and astonishing look at what one little thing can do to make it big and great and worth taking the risk! There's so much emotion all over this book - a very interesting read!
Reality Literature
Here is a fable for our modern times. What could happen if someone reaches out to one and all. Unusual.
Two Stars
Not well organized.
