Description:
Jaclyn I. Pryor's Time Slips is a fascinating introduction to the way live performances create moments in which past, present, and future coincide, revealing forgotten histories related to race, religion, class, gender, and sexuality.
Review Quotes: "For those well versed in performance studies--and its requisite conversations in historical memory and political redress, traumatic inscription and forced erasure--this book will read as queer kin." --The Drama Review
"Time Slips opens a new chapter in performance history. Paying careful attention to a range of live queer performances, Pryor narrates in gorgeous detail the temporal ruptures opened by queer performance. Rather than lead these ruptures to a moment of closure, Pryor lets it all hang out and asks their readers to also experience these large and small slips of time. The results are stunning." --Jack Halberstam, author of In A Queer Time and Place: Transgender Bodies, Subcultural Lives and The Queer Art of Failure
