Thomas Hackett |
Through interviews with wrestlers, promoters, and fans, Hackett explores the full range of issues that swirl around wrestling culture - fame, masculinity, violence, agression, performance, and play and the deceit that is a fundamental fact of American life "and yet, paradoxically, the one thing wrestling isn't is dishonest. Although wrestlers play pertende, wrestling itself doesn't pretend to be anything other than whtat it is - fantastically absurd, a very American kind of madness. Celebrity-obsessed, pathologically narcississtic, murderously competitive, it both epitomizes and parodies the delusional egoism at the heart of the culture." [note from Naha, this book is amazingly interesting in how it looks at the psyche of fans and wrestlers alike and how Hackett compares pro wrestling to other forms of entertainment years past ...and more ...everyone should read this!] |
