"In A Massive Swelling, columnist and culture critic Cintra Wilson is a ruthlessly funny pop culture barometer. Wilson gets to the heart of our humiliating fascination with celebrity and all its preposterous trappings in these hilarious, whip-smart, and subversive essays on fame.".
"Wilson takes on every sacred cow, toppling icons as diverse as Barbra Streisand and the annoying diva machine, Ike Turner and the squalid decline of rock stars like him, Michael Jackson and his freakish state, and Bruce Willis for obvious reasons."--BOOK JACKET.

Book Details
First Sentence
"Nature determines what is poisonous to the soul and body, and sometimes it is easy to avoid that which is baneful and unclean: e.g., we naturally have no desire to eat fetid corpses or drink motor oil."
