Order my book, Dream Facades: The Cruel Architecture of Reality TV, Astra House here.
“With its simple but original insight—that from Cribs to Selling Sunset, the landmark shows in reality television have revolved around residential fantasy—this intelligent, witty, and unpretentious book explores the intersection of architectural aspiration and reality television in a way which casts each in a startlingly new light. Brilliantly stylish and irresistibly readable, Dream Facades is a searing indictment of our late-capitalist present and the American fascination with cruel homes.” —SIANNE NGAI
