Chekhov’s Mistress Recommends: Anna Deveare Smith
Talk to Me: Travels in Media and Politics
Anna Deveare Smith won the “Genius” award (officially the MacArthur Fellows award) for good reason: Her documentary-style plays illustrate the irony and hypocrisy of how we in America behave toward one another. Her one-woman play House Arrest perfectly exemplifies this gift for holding the mirror at an angle in which we see ourselves most clearly. The same could be said for her book Talk to Me. Here the subject is, aptly, the media and politics, and this memoir is so entertaining that her message is delivered like vitamin c in an orange.
