Reality Hunger

The Leonard Lopate Show | May 10, 2010
Reality TV has taken over the networks, and YouTube and Facebook dominate the Web. David Shields argues that our culture is obsessed with “reality” because we experience hardly any in our real lives. In Reality Hunger: A Manifesto, he explores the bending of form and genre and the blur of fiction and reality.

Event: David Shields will be part of a panel discussion, titled "Nonfiction Under Oath" with Wayne Koestenbaum, Brenda Wineapple, and John D’Agata
Tuesday, April 13, at 6:30 pm
CUNY Graduate Center
Martin E. Segal Theatre
365 Fifth Avenue, between 34th and 35th Streets
