All we need is a volcano virgin at the end, but all we get is a blackout.
Dana Tai Soon Burgess & Co. in Tracings.
The story of immigration is the story of our country; millions of voices each tell individual tales that blend into one. The details of each tale—my great grandfather was a cabinet maker, Mr. Burgess’ worked on a plantation—are most interesting to ourselves.

But don't just read me on Burgess, please read Alexandra Tomalonis' or Chris Correa's reports on the company. They get a lot more out of the performance than I did.
In the same vein, Tom Phillips' perceptive, informative and stylish report on the Otaku exhibition at the Asia Society shows just how much I missed in my report.
I've said it before, but Phillips is one hell of a writer.
