New Narrative

I had mixed feelings on the first half of Renee Gladman's The Activist. I really liked the short paragraphs about the bridge and whatever state is happened to be in but I wasn't fond of the parts trying to figure out whether they were dreaming, on drugs, or what. The manipulation of the media was what really intrigued me about the bridge sections and how people will lie just to prove their own point. As a whole I liked the form of the new narrative a lot and how it blends story telling with poetry.
