He is primarily interested in storytelling and, as such, he sees in the novel and in its most experimental developments a natural continuation of such process of narrating and staging - oneself, or a situation - of influencing the relationship between teller and listener. Practically though, the novel is the end point of a process that starts with writing short stories, narrative poems and sparse anecdotes, then re-adapt them into monologues and dialogues for performances and videos, and finally re-edit all the material together as a coherent (albeit fragmented) story. Still, once reached the final stage of ‘organised narration’, the novel has its independency. It should be seen as a work that stands in itself, a work of experimental fiction that could be read without assistance of the other stages.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"http://www.acertainrealism.com/index.php/project/born-as-such-and-such/\"\u003eNovel's website\u003c/a\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https://www.moussepublishing.com/products-page/product/nina-beier-marie-lund-the-objectlessons/\"\u003eNovel's website 2\u003c/a\u003e\u003c/p\u003e"},{"locale":"nl","short_description":"","description":""},{"locale":"fr","short_description":"","description":""},{"locale":"ru","short_description":"","description":""},{"locale":"de","short_description":"","description":""},{"locale":"es","short_description":"","description":""},{"locale":"el","short_description":"","description":""}],"actors":[{"id":3003,"name":"Francesco Pedraglio","category":{"en":"Creator","nl":"Vervaardiger","fr":"Créateur"}}]}
