About this title

Synopsis

Sellevision is America's premier shop-at-home channel - until disaster strikes each of its frighteningly telegenic hosts. Tune in as Peggy Jean Smythe goes from poised, popular personality to pill-popping lush haunted by a stalker; watch handsome Max Andrews accidentally expose himself on the air, branding himself unemployable; see Leigh Bushmoore take her true tales of the casting couch in front of the cameras during family hour. SELLEVISION offers all this - plus Princess Diana Key Fobs, fabulous collectible dolls, Moisture Whik Panties and Diamonelle jewellery. Get in on the buy!

Review

""Sellevision" is brilliant, subversive, and marvelously evil. In this stunningly fresh debut, Augusten Burroughs has redefined the edge. This is "TV Guide" for the morally bereft and spiritually bankrupt. Thank God. I feel queasy I didn't write it."--Suzanne Finnamore, author of "Otherwise Engaged" "A painfully hilarious look at the dark side of consumer capitalism and the perils of third-tier celebrity. Days after reading it, I'm still buoyed by the invigorating malice I encountered on virtually every page. Augusten Burroughs has slam-dunked the zeitgeist."--Robert Rodi, author of "Kept Boy" "Savvy, very entertaining. Is there a funnier combination than fast-moving soap opera and tawdry comedy? Underneath all the lunacy lies a grim truth: the thin line separating grotesque satire and everyday reality has been erased and will never exist again."--Bret Easton Ellis, author of "American Psycho"
