Description
Based on an American television show, of the same name, it brims with Michael Moore's special brand of subversive humour that melds outright silliness with poignant realisation. From the oh-so-obvious Serial Killer Next Door who's ignored by his neighbours: to Mike enjoying some quality time with Dr. Kevorkian : to raising money for Charles Keating, this is a compilation of classic TV Nation that'll make you laugh and think at the same time. This book is a must read for anyone and everyone.

Reviews"A masterpiece..."TV Nation" goes where no TV magazine has gone before." "-- Newsday"""TV Nation" may be the rarest of species, a television program both funny and important." "-- The Wall Street Journal""Mr. Moore's breezy, irreverent, blithely biased excursions are generally refreshing, frequently hilarious." "-- New York Times""A news magazine for Lettermaniacs, Michael Moore's "TV Nation" greets the apocalypse of our modern times with a deadpan shrug and a keen eye for the absurdities and hypocrisies we ignore at our peril...At last! News to amuse." "-- USA Today"""TV Nation" is as compelling and provocative as it is entertaining and hilarious." "-- TV Guide""Three cheers for Michael Moore and his snappy satire, "TV Nation."" "-- The Nation"
