Description

What happens when Icarus joins the circus, Orestes has trouble with a credit application, and Frankenstein’s monster hires a private investigator? In So Rarely in Our Skins, classical and pop culture collide as Robert Moore turns his witty and ironic eye on everything from art history and fairy tales to gender relations and the true meaning of wristwatches.
