Description

Anna Deveare Smith’s award-winning one-woman shows were borne of her uniquely brilliant ability to pay attention. In Talk to Me she applies her rare talent to the language of political power in The usa.

Believing that character and language are inextricably bound, Smith sets out to discern the essence of The usa by taking note of its people and seeking to capture its politics. To that end she travels to a couple of The usa’s so much conspicuous places, like the presidential conventions of 1996, and a few of its darkest corners, like a women’s prison in Maryland. And along the way in which she interviews everyone from janitors to murderers to Bill Clinton himself. Memoir, social statement, meditation on language, this book is as vastly ambitious as it’s compellingly unique.
