Title: Hearing voices
First published: 1997
Description: Hearing Voices explores the issue of ethics by looking at the processes through which we define ourselves as individuals and the effects these choices have on our relations with others. The author critically reviews plays by Eric Bogosian, Jean Genet, Sam Shepard, Samuel Beckett, and Heiner Muller to identify practices through which we individuate ourselves, those acts which reinforce systems of pleasure and give us joy and confidence in our perception of ourselves.
