The work deals with issues of performance, gender ambiguity, and
marginality. It is concerned with the boundaries of language and
the possibilities of cross-dressing poetry as commercials, diary,
tabloids, gossip, confessions, videos, autobiography, musicals, and
manifesto. Characters turn into other characters. Clowns, buffoons,
shepherds, lead soldiers, magicians, madmen, witches,
fortune-tellers, and artists perform their fantasies in the city
streets. An antinovel within the book satirizes the writer's role
in the modern age and calls for a revolution of poetry. New York
City becomes the site of liberation for its marginal citizens, as
the narrator is led through a seeming phantasmagoria of internal
and external trials in order to experience the center - of
political power, of meaning, of feeling, and of personal identity.
