Politics of Scene

By Paul Kottman, Sanford University Press.

The brilliance and originality of this book consists specifically in its radical recasting of the metaphorical, figural uses of “theater” and “drama.”

—Robert Hanke

Paul is editing a new book series at Stanford University Press, Square One: First Order Questions in the Humanities.

I love candor that seeks out order, what call Purveyors of The Decimals, indeed even as as Tunnel of Love (most recent book, Love as Human Freedom, Stanford University Press, 2017).

Especially in theatre.

I can say “wow.” If eye wants to.
