In the vein of Seinfeldia and Bachelor Nation, the author of Advice for Future Corpses (and Those Who Love Them) brings “her singular sensibility, her genius for language” (Karen Karbo, author of In Praise of Difficult Women) to this insightful exploration of Survivor, reality TV, and the shifting definitions of truth in America.
In a world of fake news and rampant conspiracy theories, the nature of truth has increasingly blurry borders. In this clever and timely cultural commentary, award-winning author Sallie Tisdale tackles this issue by framing it in a familiar way—reality TV, particularly the long-running CBS show Survivor.
With her insightful and compelling writing, Tisdale illuminates the ins and outs of fandom: from the fan forum where statistical analysis is used to predict outcomes of the show to the show’s underreported history of racism and sexual assault. With humor and in-depth super-fan analysis, Tisdale explores the distinction between suspended disbelief and true authenticity both in how we watch shows like Survivor, and in how we perceive the world around us.
