RaveLos Angeles Review of BooksWry, well-observed prose ... It’s a testament to the strength of Senna’s prose and storytelling ability that the book doesn’t feel pedantic or overdetermined by intended commentary before it begins.
Emily Nussbaum
RaveLos Angeles Review of Books\"Nussbaum serves as a helpful guide to reality TV’s past and present, peppering Cue the Sun! with well-researched details, lively anecdotes, and primary-source accounts of the genre’s checkered development across decades ... points to not only the ways that reality television has been with us far longer than we’d think but also the ways that the subjectivity of the present is \'reality-televisual\' ... Nussbaum’s history of reality television not only shows us how a genre becomes a genre but also how reality TV has become \'a shared language, a way to talk about politics and identity, emotion and ethics, what was fair and what was real.\' Cue the sun, then—we’re all angling for our 15 minutes of fame under it.\
