About This Book

A shape-shifting visitor from the fifth planet orbiting Sirius seeks to learn human behavior and enlists a struggling actor as teacher. Lessons progress from smiles and gestures to speech patterns, social mannerisms, and professional affect, while the actor balances pride, insecurity, and practical concerns. Comic episodes of impersonation alternate with pointed observations about the theater world, identity, and the performative aspects of everyday life, as the training sessions become a means to examine what it means to appear human and the costs and curiosities of deliberate imitation.
