Talk-show confessions, online rants, stand-up routines,
inspirational speeches, banal reflections and calls to arms: we
live in an age of solo voices demanding to be heard. In The
Contemporary American Monologue Eddie Paterson looks at the
pioneering work of US artists Spalding Gray, Laurie Anderson, Anna
Deavere Smith and Karen Finley, and the development of solo
performance in the US as a method of cultural and political
critique. Ironic confession, post-punk poetry, investigations of
race and violence, and subversive polemic, this book reveals the
link between the rise of radical monologue in the late 20th century
and history of speechmaking, politics, civil rights, individual
freedom and the American Dream in the United States. It shows how
US artists are speaking back to the cultural, political and
economic forces that shape the world. Eddie Paterson traces the
importance of the monologue in Shakespeare, Brecht, Beckett,
Chekov, Pinter, O'Neill and Williams, before offering a
comprehensive analysis of several of the most influential and
innovative American practitioners of monologue performance. The
Contemporary American Monologue constitutes the first book-length
account of US monologists that links the tradition of oratory and
speechmaking in the colony to the appearance of solo performance as
a distinctly American phenomenon.
