Reality television is the ultimate guilty pleasure --
a nonstop parade of cast members and scenarios that make
fictional ones seem downright dull. Increasingly absurd
challenges, hair-yanking catfights, and hot tub makeouts
dripping with yet-to-be-acknowledged regret are only part of
its appeal. In this collection of wry and moving
essays, bestselling authors explore the programs we obsess
over, cringe at, and occasionally feel inspired by. From a
Real World casting call and American Idol
tattoo to a look at the appeal of Big Brother, Survivor,
The Real Housewives, and more, a vibrant mix of literary
luminaries examine the form of entertainment that’s
dominated our TV screens for more than a decade.
Entertaining and insightful, Reality Matters is a
must-read for anyone who adores reality TV, wants to know
what kind of an impact it’s having on our society, or simply
wonders just how real any of it actually is.
