"Wallace Shawn son of the famous New Yorker Editor is a marvelous actor and a veryu talented writer who does too little writing. This monologue is a marvelous personal account of confronting the vagaries and indisputable inequities of a world too riven by injustice and economic disparity. It is a well written thought provoking meditation."
"This book confirms everything that you secretly already knew but tried not to think about or had forgotten to think about or had explained away. Also, I saw Wallace Shawn perform this a year or so ago and they had champagne before the performance and he mingled with the crowd, which of course was done strategically so that everyone would feel really bourgeois and devastated after the show. The best part was when, when everyone was leaving at the end of the show, an audience member turned to his friend and said, "Do you want to go to Starbucks?" and there was a loong pause, and then the friend said, "Yeah, sure," in this sad voice. Which made sense, because this play makes you never want to consume anything again."
