Sidewalk Histrionics

This is the question Tennessee wrestles with in this piece drawn for the most part from unpublished essays written late in life. “I am a salesman, a pitchman, a carnival barker of something that I mean and believe in with all my being, with every last ounce and inch of it.

It was subsequently performed at: Jewish Community Center, Sherman, CT |
