The Fugitive in Flight: Faith, Liberalism and Law in a Classic TV Show by Stanley Fish
Pennsylvania, 152 pp, £16.50, November 2010, ISBN 978 0 8122 4277 Academics: beware of loving what you write about. Fandom can tempt intellectuals to take uncharacteristic risks with their primary sources. Even Stanley Fish, who as the author of Is There a Text In This Class? knows better than anyone how important the division of insider and outsider is for keeping amateurs at bay. In 1993, Fish-the-fan, enamoured of the American television series The Fugitive, joined the faithful at a convention in Hollywood to rerun, adore and discuss the episodes, to listen to actors and directors of the programme talk about their experience.
