Provocation.
- Authors
Smith, Anna Deavere
- Abstract
The article addresses the act of making art out of real-life events. The author pointed out how historians and documentarians observe real people and events in order to gain material for fictional works and how it is now possible, and even easy, to fake things that are supposed to be based on facts such as memoirs. The author further analyzed the subject through a short discussion in the style of a play.
