I thought “Gee, it’s available, so I’ll just go grab this book from my local library” and it got real, fast. After a stop at pro wrestling and reality television, the author plunges into hardcore pornography as he examines how illusion has supplanted reality in American culture.
Just a note of warning in case the direct mentions on the back and flaps weren’t enough. If I had picked this up around the time it came out before I’d ironed out some of my own seams, I would have had a bad time. That said, halfway through I think it has important things to say.
Thanks, longbelly
