SUMMARY:Incite: Superfan: Jen Sookfong Lee
DESCRIPTION:Music. Movies. Celebrity crushes. Pop culture permeates all levels of our lives\, from the entertainment we consume (or abhor) to the memes we make and share with friends. Jen Sookfong Lee has been at the centre of this commentary for years\, as author\, lifestyle commentator\, podcaster\, and now memoirist of Superfan: How Pop Culture Broke My Heart\, a searing\, revelatory\, and intimate collection exploring the ways in which pop culture has shaped—and unshaped—Lee throughout her life. \nJoined by longtime Festival friend and Globe and Mail columnist Marsha Lederman\, this special Incite event will celebrate Lee’s debut memoir-in-pieces\, and explore all the ways in which pop culture intersects with the reality of so many\, how our collective obsessions make and break us\, and why our fascinations persist in spite of it all.
