Pilot Season
The book is funny, wise, and brilliantly observed. --Bayard Godsave, author ofLesser ApocalypsesEach premise is filtered through the panache of modern TV programming, but in Brubaker's hands they swerve so painfully and unnervingly close to home they become high-definition glimpses into the hyperreality we're already living. --Jeff Simpson, author ofVertical HoldBrubaker paints an America of pixels and prose, probing into our TV-lit living rooms to expose our best and worst truths. He recognizes us for what we are--both viewer and viewee--and rather than condemning our culpability in what passes for entertainment, offers a story wonderful and weird enough to pull us from our sets. --Erin Flanagan, author ofIt's Not Going to Kill You, and Other Stories
