Life the Movie How Entertainment Conquered Reality
- List Price: $20.00
- Binding: Paperback
- Publisher: Random House Inc
- Publish date: 03/01/2000
Neal Gabler calls them "lifies", those blockbusters written in the medium of life that preoccupy the traditional media and dominate the national conversation for weeks, months, even years: the death of Princess Diana, the trial of O. J. Simpson, Kenneth Starr vs. William Jefferson Clinton, the Ayatollah's bounty on the head of Salman Rushdie. Real Life as Entertainment is hardly new -- as Gabler shows, it is older even than the penny press -- but the movies, and then the new information technologies, have so accelerated the phenomenon that it is now the reigning popular art form. How this came to pass, and just what it means for our culture and our personal lives, is the subject of this witty, concerned, and sometimes frightening book.
