Compare new instances of the literary hybrid with a range of work: the sampling in rap music, the assemblages of Picasso and Braque, the documentary film which mixes factual reporting with recreated scenes, the move from inner to outer consciousness in Virginia Woolf's novels, the fragmentary and self-effacing texts of Roland Barthes, the multimedia texture of a Web page, the musical collages of Charles Ives and Michael Daugherty, the broken narrative structures of movies like Pulp Fiction and Magnolia, the evanescent neon aphorisms of Jenny Holzer, the media commentaries of Marshall McLuhan, the six different actor-embodied Bob Dylans of I'm Not There, and the anyone-can-do-it video mashups on YouTube—all these artistic and commercial creations, each blending and fragmenting their content, prevail now in our culture as expressive models of the hybrid form.

Thomas Larson, "The Hybrid Narrative"

I've been searching out critical/craft essays on multiple and conflicting narratives lately to help inform the essay I'm working on, and I came across this great lecture piece from Larson. It was a much-needed refocusing read. 

I've also been searching for good examples of conflicting or multiple narratives (mostly within the same character/headspace) in creative nonfiction books and essays, so if you know of one, shout it out, will ya?

How Literature Saved My Life peacocks Shields’ love of reading. It’s all about the books he likes, wishes he’d written, is bespelled by. He’s aflutter with praise. At least half the book snatch-analyzes novel plots and essay collections, the enigmas of memoir and nonfiction/documentary film, not to mention mash-ups like the Seattle-based radio program Delilah or anti-lit bonbons like Tiger Woods’ porno texts; mid-cult and low-art Baudrillard taught us can be cooked as thoroughly as high art can.
