Overview: Writing with the extraordinary awareness and endless curiosity that has defined his entire oeuvre, William T. Vollmann takes an in-depth look into the unusual Japanese craft of Noh theater, using the medium as a prism to reveal humanity’s conception of beauty itself.Sweeping readers from the subdued reverence of the dressing room of Japan’s most famous Noh player to a transvestite bar in the red-light district of Kabukicho, Kissing the Mask explores the enigma surrounding Noh theatre and the traditions that have made it intrinsic to Japanese culture for centuries. Including explorations of gender through the prism of a transgendered community in Los Angeles and Kabuki female impersonators, Vollmann works to extract the secrets of staged femininity and the mystery of perceived, and expressed, beauty.The first major American work on the topic in nearly a century, Kissing the Mask is an open-hearted embrace of this mysterious, exotic tradition, and a modern dissection of the implications its mysteries hold for 21st century culture.
