<br/><br/> "This exceptional book offers the first major study of mock-documentary. The authors examine the relatively new media form along with the association between factual codes and conventions, and the discourses which underpin the genre. The analysis includes detailed explorations of Woody Allen's Zelig, Peter Greenaway's The Falls, the Beatles' spoof The Rutles as well as Bob Roberts, This is Spinal Tap, and Man Bites Dog."--Publisher description.
