P. Paramita is the author of Appetite, a novel about a “young chef chasing her dreams—and the pro wrestler she idolizes who derails everything,” out this week from Dial. Below, she discusses three books about parasocial relationships.
Most of us have found ourselves in a parasocial relationship or two. Fandom communities are born when people’s intense love for something or someone brings them together. The unpredictability of what happens when parasocial relationships take over one’s life a little too much leads to great stories. If you’re in search of a book that explores fandom and its undeniable effect on people and culture, these are three I adore.
