The right reasons to fall in love with The Bachelor When it debuted in 2002, The Bachelor raised the stakes of first-wave reality television, offering the ultimate prize: true love. Since then, thrice yearly, dozens of camera-ready young-and-eligibles have vied for affection (and roses) in front of a devoted audience of millions. In this funny, insightful examination of the world’s favorite romance-factory, Suzannah Showler explores the contradictions that are key to the franchise’s genius, longevity, and power and parses what this means for both modern love and modern America. She argues the show is both gameshow and marriage plot — an improbable combination of competitive effort and kismet — and that it’s both relic and prophet, a time-traveler from first-gen reality TV that proved to be a harbinger of Tinder. In the modern media-savvy climate, the show cleverly highlights and resists its own artifice, allowing Bachelor Nation to see through the fakery to feel the romance. Taking on issues of sex, race, contestants-as-villains, the controversial spin-offs, and more, Most Dramatic Ever is both love letter to and deconstruction of the show that brought us real love in the reality TV era.

From the pre-eminent author of Felicia’s Journey and Death in Summer, the first major collection of stories since the highly acclaimed After Rain.

Whether writing of the dying of a day, a love or a way of life, Trevor tells a story of such distilled beauty and intelligence that humanity illuminates even its darkest corners. Eloquent, subtle and brilliantly crafted, The Hill Bachelors will hold a beloved place amongst William Trevor’s award-winning body of work and shows the master of short stories at the height of his game.

There once was a bachelor...an honest man, an artist struggling for love and success. He had a girlfriend. Sexy and manipulative, this woman enticed and diced his heart. But there was another woman, too. Not quite as pretty, nor half as mean, this sweet woman made him laugh. One cold morning, a tiny abandoned kitten appeared on his doorstep. Sure it would be temporary, the bachelor opened his door...and then slowly, his heart. Soon, his house was he home too. But the cat wasn't the only object growing in the bachelor's affections. Increasingly town between the two women, he didn't know which one he wanted more. For the cat, the choice was easy. Would the bachelor be wise enough to hear her--and the truth in his own heart?
