Storytelling (2001)

Nancy Anne Ridder: Joyce (segment "Fiction")

Quotes 

• Marcus (segment "Fiction") : This is bullshit! Her story was the truth!

  Joyce (segment "Fiction") : Right.

  Sue (segment "Fiction") : It's unbelievable!

  Elli (segment "Fiction") : It's clichéd!

  Amy (segment "Fiction") : It's disgusting!

  Vi : But it happened!

  Mr. Scott : I don't know about what happened, Vi, because once you start writing, it all becomes fiction. Still... it certainly is an improvement over your last story. There is now at least a beginning, a middle, and an end.

• Amy (segment "Fiction") : [critiquing a story about a disabled person]  It kind of reminded me a little of Faulkner, but East Coast and disabled.

  Lucy (segment "Fiction") : Or Flannery O'Connor. She had multiple sclerosis.

  Joyce (segment "Fiction") : And Borges... he was blind.

  Ethan (segment "Fiction") : Updike has psoriasis.
