"A very accessible non-fiction examining the history of the Cabaret. It is one of the more accessible academic studies I've found of cabaret that exist out there presently. Way more accessible than Berlin Cabaret for example, which seems to take the sex out of the sexiest of art forms and turn it into academic fodder full of spider webs. It was very fascinating to track the evolution of cabaret from its start in Paris to Berlin and then to the UK and America. It was interesting seeing the various mutations it has taken over time. It makes an excellent partner of Voluptuos Panic, which delves into the eroticism of the movement. This delves into the politics and the rebellion of it."
