Good point. This also works with the justice system in Kafka's Trial. Mister K is arrested... without explanation. Or in Kafka's Metamorphosis, where Mister Samsa wakes up only to be found transformed... into a cockroach. Again, no explanation. Write like this, and you will have readers stretch their brains. When I researched for this piece, there eas no TikTok. Today, on TikTok, most clips do not show a beginning nor an ending. This is In Medias Res on NVIDIA-GeForce-GTX-1080 powered dystopian hell. It will destroy our psychology one day. Best! T
I understand. Tokyo has collapsed. The GDP per capita has dropped 40% and now stands at $32k. For comparison, Irland has a GDP per capita of $68k. We have tourists from Korea who say that Tokyo is way backward and cheap now, compared with Seoul life. I hope this is just temporary. Take care! T
Great piece! The action has to take place in the first few paragraphs or the first minutes of a movie, and in the first few seconds in a short. Better make that the first second! There is no time for building a story or developing a character. Only when the audience is hooked, can the storytelling begin. So, it had to be "written backward". 'Momento' is a perfect example. The technique works best for crime stories. Keep it going, Dr. P!
Thanks, Guy! Momento is a master piece. Irréversible, with Monica Belluci, also comes to mind. Which was by the way one of the most violent movies I have ever seen by far. But the telling-it-backwards was perfectly executed. All the best! T
Thinking is the most underrated activity.
That was genius
And this is why they wanna ban his books
Another incredible explanation of an extremely complex subject - thanks so much for your work!
Well written, but overtly complicated. In medias res means starting something without an introduction.

Blurb: "I like the intro blurbs!"
Blurb: "Pattberg's clearly uncomfortable with his sudden mega-fame." 😂
I wished, haha! Thanks!
I am convinced they know everything about us. I am seeing Kleenex ads after reading this.
New blurb: "Pattberg: Jabbed, while forced to listen."
Very funny. Thanks, Teddy! T
Paint no more!
Hazard stripings and then some ads. Hard economic times, Dr. P.

His boos are cursed.
Thanks, Ani! I will take this one up! All the best! T
He won‘t stop until the whole world reads his books.
Stop it! :-D Many thanks! T
PATTBERG = Combination of overwork and drugs
What drugs? Sugar and Caffeine? I live on Bananas, Oranges, Cereals and Cola! :-D Best! T
Try the 訳あり無農薬 mandarins on ヤフオク, they're cheap and delicious!
What a coincidence! Just last night on the fruit market, I bought a 5kg box of mandarins, wholesale! That should last some time. Yummy! T
