I imagine this would be a treasure trove for an artist like Kenneth Goldsmith [0]. He has a moving book consisting of verbatim transcriptions of broadcast shows that were aired during several tragic events in US history [1]. Or another book (800 pages; yep, I read it through) capturing every word he spoke during a week [2]. When served well, verbatim transcriptions can make a fascinating or very emotional form of art. It's like this stuff, with all the stutterings, illogical sentences etc, is occasionally more directly "wired to my head", and thus closer to sensing the other person's "thinking", than a regular, careful literary composition. Then again, it is probably also easier to "overuse", I guess. 0: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kenneth_Goldsmith https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kenneth_Goldsmith 1: "Seven American Deaths and Disasters" -- https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/16071842-seven-american-deaths-and-disasters https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/16071842-seven-american-... 2: "Soliloquy" -- https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/764257.Soliloquy?ac=1&from_search=true&qid=LlvKjMzwth&rank=1 https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/764257.Soliloquy?ac=1&fr...
