Chimes: A Monologue - Paperback
Description
by Tom Cole (Author)
A confessional narrative melding black humor with sincere insight that speaks on class, queerness and addiction
Through a striking performative monologue, Chimes follows the distinctive voice of a first-person narrator recounting his experiences of shame, addiction and self-destructive behavior with mischievous humor. Now, after months of monotonous solitude, a storm of unresolved issues resurfaces, and his escalating feelings of alienation and unworthiness lead to unconventional solutions.
In the tradition of the plays of Rainer Werner Fassbinder, Georg Büchner, Charles Ludlam and Sarah Kane, Cole weaves the very bleakest of humor with startling and heartbreaking feats of intimate self-reflection. Speaking on issues of class, sex, intimacy and the highs and lows of queer reality today, Chimes asks how and where one finds the answers to living a complicated life.
