The Truth of Buffy: Essays on Fiction Illuminating Reality - 1st printing. Edited by Emily Dial-Driver and Sally Emmons-Featherston. Seemingly the most fantastical of television series, Buffy the Vampire Slayer proves on close examination to be firmly rooted in real-world concerns. In this collection of critical essays, 15 authors from several disciplines study ways in which Buffy illuminates viewers' real-life experiences. Topics include the series' portrayals of the relationship between soul, morality, and identity; whether Buffy can be described as a feminist icon; and the problem of power and underhanded politics in the Buffy universe. Softcover, 6-in. x 9-in., 242 pages, Text Only. Cover price $23.99.
