You are invited to attend a very special masquerade party. You are to be the one and only member of the audience as each one as 25 enigmatic allegorical characters, known as The Parabolic Masqueraders, steps out from behind his curtain on an otherwise darkened stage and is sworn to tell the truth about himself, no matter how dreadful or delightful the confession might be, whether he/she is a rascal or angel or anything in between. While in the focus of a spotlight that follows his every gesture and move, each masquerader has you riveted to your front row center seat as he removes his mask of verbal putty and greasepaint. You are shocked, suprised or totally hypnotized when you discover who he really is -- and he could very well be a part of yourself. When you have witnessed and heard all of the masqueraders, you will have traveled on a journey from ignorance to knowledge, to wisdom. This is truly a journey into the American psyche. This is, after all, the Book of a Lifetime -- Your Lifetime! Don't be surprised if you find yourself re-reading the book or special passages that you want to visit again! It's not unusual to stop for a cup of coffee or just take a break after 2 or 3 of the masqueraders have confessed who they are. But you will be enraptured by the book and you will be anxious to continue!
