About This Event
True crime listeners, it's time to listen to us. We’re hosting renowned author Bryan J. McCann, a LSU professor, at CHB Lafayette on June 13 at 3 p.m. for a reading and signing of his book The Bundy Archive: Genealogies of White Masculinity.
From the publisher: The Bundy Archive is the first scholarly study to investigate the deep, unsettling allure of Bundy within the public imagination. Working at the intersection of cultural criticism, true crime, and memoir, author Bryan J. McCann argues that Bundy’s ubiquity is not a function of his depravity and strangeness, but of his familiarity and resonance. McCann considers cultural artifacts, rhetoric, and popular texts surrounding Bundy—collectively constructing what he terms “the Bundy archive”—and demonstrates how these elements reveal public anxieties about and investments in white masculinity and gendered violence.
