Self-Inflicted Paper Cuts

Videomaker Kip Fulbeck puts his life on the line

By Robert Ito

Autobiographies are, by nature, self-indulgent. Write one before your fortieth birthday as Kip Fulbeck has done with his first book, Paper Bullets, and expect people to question your motives, if not the size of your ego. Not that Fulbeck, an award-winning videomaker, performance artist, UCSB professor and professional lifeguard, doesn’t have plenty of life stories to write about, whatever the literary genre. But an autobiography? Seems borderline diva, at best.
