Sellevision Summary

Sellevision by Augusten Burroughs

The hilarious first novel by the #1 bestselling author of Running with Scissors, Dry, A Wolf at the Table, and You Better Not Cry, Sellevision is Augusten Burrough's darkly funny and vastly entertaining skewering of a very troubled home-shopping channel.

Welcome to the world of Sellevision, premier retail broadcasting network. When Max Andrews, the much loved and handsome (that is, lonely and gay) host of a Toys for Tots segment, accidentally exposes himself in front of millions of kids, Sellevision faces its first big scandal. As Max struggles to find a new job in television, the popular and perky host Peggy Jean Smythe is receiving sinister emails from a stalker. Popping pills and drinking heavily, she fails to notice that her husband is spending a lot of time with the young babysitter who lives next door. Then there's Leigh, whose affair with married Sellevision boss Howard Toast is going nowhere until she announces their relationship on air.

A blistering satire of our overcharged, scandal-obsessed world, Sellevision is an absolute howl . . . wicked fun (New York Daily News)

Sellevision Reviews

Burroughs is wildly, weirdly funny: like an out-of-control David Sedaris. * The Times *
The Brady Bunch on Viagra * Observer *
Poke-in-the-eye sharp * Independent on Sunday *
Savvy, very entertaining * Bret Easton Ellis *
