Fine copy. Minor wear to spine, cover and corners.; Fine copy. Minor wear to spine, cover and corners. Brian Oliu examines professional wrestling as a uniquely American performance that is at once theatrical, violent, and emotionally resonant, following the lives of wrestlers and the fans who invest in them. Through a series of personal essays, he links the physical risks and staged storylines of wrestling to lived experiences of disability, chronic pain, body image, masculinity, class, grief, and devotion, treating the ring as a lens for understanding real-world vulnerability and endurance. The book appeals to readers of creative nonfiction and cultural studies as well as wrestling fans who are interested in the emotional and social realities behind the “fake” sport.; 7.7 X 0.5 X 8.1 inches; 196 pages.
