a.Joyce –“Walk”– Realism with the utmost fidelity to psychological states both of authors and characters as well as to the historical states of places. (history: place::psychology: individual)
b.Agee– “The lists”– a photgraphic realism– like Joyce but more viable for still lifes than stories — the still life as OOO– there are no characters and no authors and no subjects, only objects,– this is what objects say to objects.
c. Kafka. “Shop”– magical realism– different from the purely fantastic (1001 Nights) in trying to bring a (not fantastic) emotional reality close.
d.Beckett. –Bilby– only style– not “style over substance” but substance here is rumored only vaguely to have once existed –focused on the trivial / impossible –metawriting instead of metafiction.
all of which could be classed as biography by other means as opposed to literature. (why is ‘biography by other means’ opposed to literature)
