Six Months Was Hardly a Life Sentence! After all, Linnet found Cassie, her six-year-old charge, a delight. She would enjoy the time she spent helping the little girl with her English. It was spending time with Max de Angeli, Cassie's father, that Linnet found confining. She suspected that Max had been partially responsible for his wife's death. She also knew that the wealthy Italian would not let her leave Venice before her six-month contract expired. Linnet's common sense told her she was temporarily caught in a gilded cage, but in her heart she knew she was a willing captive…forever.

An intimate portrait of a marriage intertwined with a meditation on reality TV that reveals surprising connections and the meaning of an authentic life. A VINTAGE ORIGINAL. In Lucas Mann's trademark vein--fiercely intelligent, self-deprecating, brilliantly observed, idiosyncratic, personal, funny, and infuriating--Captive Audience is an appreciation of reality television wrapped inside a love letter to his wife, with whom he shares the guilty pleasure of watching "real" people bare their souls in search of celebrity. Captive Audience resides at the intersection of popular culture with the personal; the exhibitionist impulse, with the schadenfreude of the vicarious, and in confronting some of our most suspect impulses achieves a heightened sense of what it means to live an authentic life and what it means to love a person.
