THE THEATER OF SPONTANEOUS MANAbstract
The most intriguing dramatic presentation of all, everyday life, unfolds before us continually. As we respond to the situations of everyday life, we cast ourselves as the drama tis personae of this epic. We mask and costume ourselves, piece together our roles, and influence plot development.
