Mike Daisey is a fierce storyteller, one minute hilarious, another minute sweet, with a fine-tuned ear for digression. He circles in on his uneasy subject material, closer and closer, until he exposes the raw heart. The New York Times calls him "the master storyteller" and he has been compared to Garrison Keillor, Spalding Gray, and David Sedaris. In these seven monologues, recorded before live audiences at New York's Performance Space 122, Daisey tells true stories from his life that add the terrible beauty of his rural Maine hometown, to shipping weapons to the Middle East, to the unintentionally hilarious dangers of defending free speech. In Where Water Meets With Water, Mike explores the geography of his hometown in far northern Maine, where in fact the natives await the St. John's River's ice to melt every spring and barber shops are filled up with talk of just how many bodies of the winter's lost will be found headed out to sea. Playing counterpoint are the details of a fresh Manhattan institution: a divorce party for friends who would like their marriage to disintegrate cleanly.
