- Summary:
- Cultural Writing. Inspired by a society obsessed with celebrities, Searle explores the glittering-dark underworld of 'hopefuls, ' those who have been given the slightest hint of success -- or imagined success -- and who are desperate for an audience, of any size. Ranging from a woman's relentless effort to become an actress despite her tendency to faint onstage to a disintegrating family who comes together only to watch a favorite soap opera, these stories capture the thrill and lure of fame and our insatiable need for it.
