Today the book Reality Matters hits store shelves, and I want each and every one of you to buy it. The volume is an anthology about reality television, and not only has it been edited by my friend Anna David, but it also features the contributions of such authors as Toby Young (Top Chef), James Frey (A Million Little Pieces), Neil Strauss (The Game), Stacey Grenrock Woods (The Daily Show), Jerry Stahl (Permanent Midnight), Mark Lisanti (Defamer, Movieline), and even yours truly (pause for applause and gentle adulation). Yes, this is the first time my writing has been published in a book, and I’m quite excited, especially since I’m in such esteemed company.
Clearly, if you want to support me, my friend Anna, and America in general, you’ll do the right thing and buy this wonderful book.
Additionally, there is a whole slate of events tied in with the release of Reality Matters. California readers of this blog should take note. On Wednesday, April 21st, I will be taking part in a book reading for Reality Matters at the Barnes & Noble at The Grove (on 3rd and Fairfax). The following week, I’ll be up in San Francisco on Thursday, April 29th to do it all over again at the Borders in Union Square (400 Post St.). Both events start at 7 PM. This is my very first book reading (at least since perhaps a 7th grade recital of my epic story, “The Pocket Watch”), and as such, I am very excited. Come on by and check it out!
