Reality Matters by Anna David

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.

What happens when brilliant writers dissect the TV shows we can't stop watching?

• Humorous Essays: Laugh-out-loud funny and surprisingly insightful takes on the shows we secretly love, from The Bachelor to Jersey Shore.
• Witty Pop Culture Commentary: Some of today's sharpest novelists and journalists--including Neil Strauss and Toby Young--come clean about their own reality TV obsessions.
• Celebrity Culture Unpacked: Go beyond the guilty pleasure to explore what our fascination with fame, conflict, and on-screen drama reveals about our own lives.
• Smart TV Analysis: A collection that treats reality television with the sharp, intelligent analysis it deserves, proving that even our guiltiest pleasures are worthy of a closer look.
