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 \u003ci\u003eSurvivor\u003c\/i\u003e. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWith her insightful and compelling writing, Tisdale illuminates the ins and outs of Survivor 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 superfan analysis, Tisdale explores the distinction between suspended disbelief and true authenticity both in how we watch shows like \u003ci\u003eSurvivor\u003c\/i\u003e, and in how we perceive the world around us.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Sallie Tisdale\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1982175907\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781982175900\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Gallery Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/13\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 272\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.48lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.38h x 5.50w x 0.64d","brand":"Sallie Tisdale","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45332115783935,"sku":"9781982175900","price":18.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_7b68cff2-3f74-49b9-bc7a-8ae8733a8ba9.jpg?v=1713971781","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/survivor-and-the-endless-gaze-sallie-tisdale-9781982175900","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
