SUMMARY:Canceled: Author Event: Emily Nussbaum\, 'Cue The Sun! The Invention of Reality TV'
DESCRIPTION:The Emily Nussbaum lecture scheduled for this Thursday\, 8/14 
 has unfortunately been cancelled for reasons beyond our control.  We hope 
 we can reschedule at a later date.\n\n\n\nAs part of the Blue Hill Public 
 Library's annual Robert K. and Linda B. Slaven lecture series\, all are 
 invited to a talk with New Yorker staff writer\, author\, and television 
 critic Emily Nussbaum for her book Cue the Sun! The Invention of Reality 
 TV\, on Thursday\, August 14 at 7:00 p.m. in the library's Howard Room.\nIn 
 this revelatory\, deeply reported account of the rise of “dirty 
 documentary”—from its contentious roots in radio to the ascent of 
 Donald Trump—Emily Nussbaum unearths the origin story of the genre that 
 ate the world\, as told through the lively voices of the people who built 
 it. At once gimlet-eyed and empathetic\, Cue the Sun! explores the morally 
 charged\, funny\, and sometimes tragic consequences of the hunt for 
 something real inside something fake.\n\nEmily Nussbaum is a staff writer 
 for The New Yorker\, and previously\, was the magazine's television critic. 
 She worked as an editor and a writer at New York Magazine\, where she 
 created The Approval Matrix. She's also written for Slate\, The New York 
 Times\, Lingua Franca and Nerve\, among other publications. In 2016\, she 
 won the Pulitzer Prize for Criticism. She is the author of I Like to Watch: 
 Arguing My Way Through the TV Revolution\, which was a finalist for the 
 PEN/Diamonstein-Spielvogel Award for the Art of the Essay.  She doesn't 
 have a favorite television show\, but under pressure\, she'll choose 
 "Slings and Arrows."\n\nThe Robert K. & Linda B. Slaven Lecture Series 
 seeks to bring distinguished speakers with expertise in a wide array of 
 subjects to Blue Hill to share their knowledge on topics of importance to 
 the community and the world. It is supported by a generous gift from the 
 Anahata Foundation. This program is free and open to the public. For more 
 information\, please contact Assistant Director Kayleigh Thomas at 
 kayleigh.thomas@bhpl.net or call the library at 374-5515. Blue Hill Books 
 will be onsite with copies of the book available for purchase. \n\n
