Inspired by a society obsessed with celebrities, Searle explores the
glittery-dark underworld of ‘hopefuls,’ those who have been given the
slightest hint of success—or even imagined success—and who are hungry
for an audience, of any size. Ranging from a woman’s relentless pursuit
to be an actress despite her tendency to faint onstage, to a
disintegrating family who comes together if only to watch the imaginary
lives in a soap opera, these stories capture the thrill and lure of
fame and our insatiable need for it.
