520    "When released in 2003, The Room, an obscure, self-
       financed relationship drama by Tommy Wiseau, should have 
       been forgotten. And yet it has since become a cult classic,
       despite being crowned "the worst movie ever made" by many 
       a critic. In You Are Tearing Me Apart, Lisa!, contributors
       explore this priceless cultural artifact, offering fans 
       and film buffs critical insight into the movie's various 
       meanings, historical context, and place in the cult canon.
       Even if by complete accident, The Room touches on many 
       issues of modern concern, including sincerity, 
       authenticity, badness, artistic value, gender relations, 
       Americanness, Hollywood conventions, masculinity, and even
       the meaning of life. Revealing the timeless power of 
       Wiseau's The Room, You Are Tearing Me Apart, Lisa! is a 
       deeply entertaining deconstruction of an original work of 
       all-American failure"--|cProvided by publisher.
