It's the 1980s and the politics of the brand new York theater world have taken just one more turn. Masochism has gone out and feminism is within, Jews are out and Germans are in, competition has gone out and gender is within, and everyone's fighting (and rewriting) for a piece of the pie. Jewish director Jim Minsk disappears throughout a trip to the South. Black playwright Ian Ball creates the all-female play Reckless Eyeballing in hopes of getting off the "sex-list." Preeminent playwright Jack Brashford, proclaiming the Jews stole all his dark-colored material, decides to create about Armenians. In the backdrop, an unknown assailant dubbed the "Flower Phantom" operates loose through the city shaving heads of prominent dark-colored feminists (to the trick delight of dark-colored men). With this hilarious, destructive, but also deeply sympathetic novel, Ishmael Reed turns characters on their backs, factors, tops and bottoms to expose the multiple hypocrisies in the centre of American culture.
