Karen Finley celebrates her new book The Reality Shows, published by The Feminist Press.
No other contemporary performing artist has captured the psychological complexity of this decade’s political and social milestones as Karen Finley has in the past ten years.
In her inimitable style, Finley has embodied some of the most troubling figures to cast a long shadow on the public imagination, and has envisioned a kind of catharsis within each drama: Liza Minnelli responds to the September 11 attacks; Terri Schaivo explains why Americans love a woman in a coma; Martha Stewart dumps George W. Bush during their tryst on the eve of the Republican National Convention; Silda Spitzer tells the former governor why “I’m sorry” just isn’t enough; Jackie O cries, “Please stop looking at me!”
