"For 'Rant' I borrowed the form of an oral biography, wherein dozens of people are interviewed about the same person, then those interviews are cut together. Like a 'talking head' type of documentary film. The only person not present is the subject: Rant Casey, an updated Huckleberry Finn in a messy, crowded near-future. Cars, traffic, and accidents all play parts, with chunks of the through-line action presented as radio traffic reports. Of course there's a romance. And of course it's confronting and occasionally violent. And sickening or sexy. The glory of the 'oral biography' form is how it allows the story to cut instantly from one plot thread to another, or from the 'camera' perspective of one character to another, while both describe the same event. This let me boil each statement down to the minimal plot point so that the action moves blam, blam, blam through the entire twisted life and death of Rant."
Este libro está medio revuelto así que de verdad les recomiendo que lo empiecen a leer cuanto antes porque probablemente tengan que releer ciertas partes.
De todas maneras les dejo estos artículos/discusiones que lo explican tantito. SPOILER ALERT: NO LO LEAN ANTES DE TERMINAR EL LIBRO o se los van a arruinar.
