On the Verge of Tears: Why the Movies, Television, Music, Art, Popular Culture, Literature, and the Real World Make Us Cry de Michele Byers

On the Verge of Tears: Why the Movies, Television, Music, Art, Popular Culture, Literature, and the Real World Make Us Cry

Editat de Michele Byers, David Lavery
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 30 iun 2010
The idea for this book began with David Laverys 2007 column for flowtv.org. The Crying Game: Why Television Brings Us to Tears asked us to consider that age-old mystery: tears. The respondents to Davids initial surveyMichele among themdidnt agree on anything... some cried more over film, some television, some books; some felt their tears to be a release, others to be a manipulation. They did agree, however, as did the readers who responded to the column, that crying over stories, and even things, is something that is a shared and familiar cultural practice. This book was born from that moment of recognition.
