pulled them all together and arranged them by topic like suicide notes, overheard conversations, movie ideas etc. It's like a found object collage. Chapter titles are the only hint at what Korine is thinking. But ultimately, we're on our own when it comes to tying all the scraps together. It's kind of looking at small tiles on a bathroom floor. Sooner or later you'll start seeing patterns. But Korine's selection of scraps is not random. Korine collects among the lower classes. He gives the podium to people who don't normally have a voice in our culture, people who may or may not have jobs, people with no concern for political correctness. And I think that this is where Korine deserves 5 stars. He makes us look at people we don't normally want to look at. He doesn't glamorize them, he doesn't apologize for them. He simply holds up the mirror and makes us look at them. He reminds us that not everyone gets to realize the American dream. As for postmodernism or new literary forms, I think Korine got something going. Ideas in most modern literature are way too sparse. You have to wade through way too much narrative and plot to get at the few good ideas, insights, images. Korine simply throws out the ideas, images, lets you wander about and create your own picture. crack up at the race riots is part scrapbook, part videologue all in one. pieces of scripts, part conversations, fake rumors and ideas all
