Asking
You people are smart and well read; perhaps yous guys might have some suggestions to help me out. I'm trying to come up with novels, short stories, novellas, movies, plays, or poems that deal with the concept of reality. Examples would include The Matrix, Fight Club, Tom Stoppard's play The Real Thing, and Salvador Placencia's novel People of Paper (the author is a character in a kind of magical realist story). Anything where reality is a theme or focus, and if the text in question looks at the relationship of fiction to reality, so much the better.
I particularly need stuff from the early 20th century to about 1980 or so -- later stuff is much easier for me to come by. You modernists might be able to help me out more than others!
Thanks in advance to anyone who has any ideas -- and all ideas are muchly appreciated!
