The cameras were real, and everyone knew it. “There was nothing to research, to doubt or to believe. “She didn’t have to consider the surreality of dark figures spying, or cameras in the trees,” Braverman writes. After a childhood shaped by paranoia-her off-the-grid conspiracy theorist parents worried their phones were being tapped and believed her mother’s miscarriages were due to a government conspiracy to control the population-Mara finds the “Civilization” cameras almost soothing. She can identify edible plants and build a fire. Protagonist Mara is an employee at a survival school. In Small Game, five strangers are dropped off in a forest, where they must live off the land and work together to claim the prize money, and it’s all filmed for a new show called “Civilization.” If you’re one of the millions of Americans who are (still) hooked on the groundbreaking reality TV series “Survivor,” the intriguing debut novel from memoirist and long-distance dog-sledder Blair Braverman will feel familiar-at first.
