Join Dirk Eitzen, author of Fooling with the Amish: Amish Mafia, Entertaining Fakery, and the Evolution of Reality TV, in a discussion about the book. In Fooling with the Amish, Eitzen, a professor of media at Franklin & Marshall College, examines why reality television continues to captivate audiences despite its fakery and sensationalism by looking at Amish Mafia, which debuted on the Discovery Channel in 2012.

This book club is a follow up to an event with Dirk Eitzen earlier this month. Watch the recorded event here.
