Harlan Wilson's first play, \u003cem\u003eThe Dark Hypotenuse\u003c\/em\u003e, when it opened in Copenhagen in 2012. Not only did it bear the weird, estranging aesthetic that distinguishes his novels and short fiction, the play contained scenes where viewers were attacked by actors as well as a variety of endangered animals, among them an African elephant that was euthanized onstage. \u003cem\u003eThe Dark Hypotenuse \u003c\/em\u003eappeared in Wilson's first collection of dramatic entertainments. This second collection includes his latest work in the field. In \u003cem\u003eJackanape\u003c\/em\u003e, a murderous dinner jacket wreaks havoc on a community of innocent narcissists who struggle to stay alive while negotiating the rigors of the School of Life. \u003cem\u003eThe Fingermen\u003c\/em\u003e portrays a support group whose members have each lost an index finger; their stories reveal their insecurities as much as the nonsense that typifies contemporary existence. In both cases, Wilson satirizes with a hammer, oscillating between hilarity and solemnity as he invites us to think about the relationship between self-delusion and (in)sanity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 96\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.38 x 8 x 5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e December 01, 2021\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44533459058823,"sku":"9780999153567","price":28.73,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0601\/2623\/2711\/files\/DOTM81vPFR9780999153567.webp?v=1777175247","url":"https:\/\/booksby.splitshops.com\/products\/jackanape-and-the-fingermen-hardcover","provider":"Books by splitShops","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
