Book Synopsis
In stories that range from the discovery of a religious truth to remembering a childhood trauma to coming out of the closet, the author reveals a common social pattern: When people escape a place of darkness by discovering a life-changing truth, they typically ally with a new community.

Trade Review
"A highly original book that places the performer (historical and contemporary) at the center of scholarly inquiry; it is a virtuosic exercise in historical imagining." (Annette Richards, Cornell University)"
