Trade Review
"Judas and Jesus, Elizabeth and Essex, Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are among the witnesses Gabriella Turnaturi summons to give evidence in her penetrating examination of betrayal as a social process. Like Erving Goffman, she avoids unexamined moral judgments as she brilliantly analyzes betrayal in all its moral and social complexity." - Howard S. Becker, author of Tricks of the Trade and Outsiders"
