Paperback. Zustand: new. Paperback. Top Chef. America's Next Top Model. Survivor. Dancing with the Stars. American Idol. Big Brother. The Biggest Loser. Everyone has a guilty reality television pleasure. Curated by Party Girl author Anna David, Reality Matters is a collection of hilarious yet revealing essays from novelists, essayists, and journalists--including Toby Young, Neil Strauss, and Stacey Grenrock Woods, among many others--about the reality television shows they love, obsess over, and cringe at; and why they, and America, can't stop watching. 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.
