Publisher Description: <p>"A paradoxical, puzzling, compellingly hypnotic work." --<em>Village Voice</em></p> <p>In Annie Baker's <em>The Antipodes</em>, a group of people sit around a table telling, cataloging, and theorizing stories. Their purpose is never clear: are they brainstorming ideas for a TV show? A film? A mythology? This is a world where ghostly fables co-exist with mundane discussions of snacks and sexual exploits, where the vague instruction to tell stories about "something monstrous" though "it might not be a literal monster" becomes maddeningly impossible. Part satire, part sacred rite, <em>The Antipodes </em>asks what value stories have for a world in crisis.</p>
