The Lie About the Truck: Survivor, Reality TV, and the Endless Gaze

3.1/5 ( ratings)

What is the truth?

In a world of fake news and rampant conspiracy theories, the nature of truth has increasingly blurry borders. 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 "Survivor."

With humor and in-depth superfan analysis, Tisdale explores the distinction between suspended disbelief and true authenticity, both in how we watch shows like "Survivor" and in how we perceive the world around us. With her “bold and wise, galvanizing and grounding” writing, Tisdale has created an unputdownable, thoroughly entertaining, and groundbreaking book that we will be talking about for years to come.
