Christmastime 2017, and the only thing the psychotic, but born with once-in-a-lifetime genius, ALBERT JOHNSON, wants is JILL PHILLIPS, the woman fueling his erotomania. The man screaming in the trunk of the Aston Martin heading into the Appalachian Mountains is how he plans to get her. When mutilated remains are discovered in an abandoned warehouse in Baltimore New Year's Day, DETECTIVES GARY ANDERSON and his partner, ANGELA OBONAUCH, are assigned the case. Gary believes it's the work of CARLOS DEGA, a gang leader who recently escaped from jail. Having spent his childhood abused and locked away in a shack of a home in rural Maryland, Albert's life completely derails when at eleven his father murders his mother in front of him. At sixteen, his dad's poor health forces the dysfunctional teen to seek employment, finding a janitorial position in Baltimore. Years later, he's staffed at a biopharmaceutical company where he fortuitously discovers research on advanced face transplants, allowing him to learn to perform them, even on himself, all the while scheming to kill Jill's husband and take his place. VICTOR ORTEGA, second in command of a gang named the Scorpions, taunted and mistreated Albert for years while working with him as a custodian at the same company as a means to cover up his criminal involvement. He pushes Albert to a breaking point and he kills Victor and his brother in ghastly fashion. When Carlos doesn't hear from Victor, he sends out a party of his men who go missing, too. Shortly thereafter, Albert transplants Jill's husband's face onto his own and shows up at her house, insisting the lights remain off while speaking little. The flustered and surprised Jill ultimately gives into the strangeness of the night despite feeling something's amiss because she'd been under the impression her husband was away on business. Hours later, she confirms her suspicions and sneaks off to the hospital where she learns her husband's been murdered and the imposter who raped her is related to her. Albert, upon returning home after his night with Jill, finds other gang members waiting for him and summarily kills them, too. He goes on the lam and sets up camp and a makeshift lab in the Appalachian Mountains where he transplants an officer's face onto his in order to kidnap Gary's girlfriend, GABBY MICHAELS, believing she's the bargaining chip to get Jill and gain safe passage. But Albert's scheme goes awry because he's too preoccupied with the persistent Carlos to notice Gary isn't following instructions. Unbeknownst to anyone, Angela's husband, CIA operative, DAVID OBONAUCH, has been tracking Carlos since locating him sometime after he escapes from prison. The inevitable confrontation on a dreary, blustery day between Gary, Carlos, David and Albert ultimately ends in Albert being shot and plunging from atop Blackwater Falls-the body's not immediately found, and Jill who lost so much, particularly her identity, leaves her family and life in Baltimore to go somewhere and try to make sense of it all.

This work examines the Mask from its many contexts, placing an emphasis on the Mask's exclusiveness to that which is human. There is also a large section on the archetypal which has as its foundation and contribution a perspective of evolutionary psychology which is of a scientific approach to something persisting in cognition."For our own part, whatever is scientific in us is satisfied with the labeling of the Scarecrow as false and the license to treat it as so. However, a remaining part of us is compelled to treat the Scarecrow exactly as its initial fabrication intended." "The groups totem, represented by an animal or plant and further represented by a mask comes then to represent the supernatural as what is done to it becomes luck, fate, mana, curse, defilement or blessing.""There are injuries to the nervous system that result in the incapacity for the recognizing of old or the storing of new faces. Whatever underestimation of the face's importance is swiftly renounced as relationships cannot be cultured where one fails to identify the other.""There is not a linear relationship between primitive man's realization of the use of the Mask and the later triumph of a civilization. In the sense that a civilization is the binding of man, the Mask has an effectiveness of conducting the collective gaze and holding attentions. The mentality of the people dispersing from a Masquerade is better joined and as these people might reflect in the ensuing days, they are proclaimed a single fabric by which to do so. Should things be so manageable, social occurrences, within a group which shares a theatre, are not unrelated to this theatre and it is as though its language is socially elevated beyond anything that might come from a single person's lips in officiality."

The practice of mask-wearing has a long history, even becoming mandatory in times of global crisis. In this useful contribution to the performing arts curriculum, Maskword: The Background, Making and Use of Masks takes a new look at the creative and timeless art of masks and mask-making, while also exploring their cultural anthropology from prehistory to the present day. Drawing on her extensive experience in professional theatre and running workshops, Foreman promotes the life-affirming qualities of masks, providing us with an invaluable resource for artists and teachers, as well as parents seeking activities for children at home. Eight themed projects use photographs to document masks and mask-making techniques, with each one offering practical advice and design ideas; materials are inexpensive and easy to acquire.

How does a 5-year-old girl navigate deep loss after a tragic car accident leaves her motherless? Charting a lifelong process of sifting through grief and rediscovering hope, Memoirs of a Mask Maker honors the women who stepped in to help the girl stitch together a beautiful life-a grandmother, a neighbor and a pharmacist in Japan... Years later, when the global pandemic forced Kathryn Graven and everyone else inside, she responded by sewing hundreds of colorful masks for family, friends and complete strangers. She signed each one with a note of encouragement. She discovered that making masks not only called for artistic skills, it tapped all she learned about filling a void and building resilience. Now, as global society faces immeasurable individual and collective grief, these lessons are collected for a new crop of motherless children and those around them. Memoirs of a Mask Maker invites readers to join a new conversation about how we gather our tears and mend the tears. Memoirs of a Mask Maker is one of the most captivating memoirs you'll ever read. From beginning to end, this is a flat-out beautifully written book with characters that pop off the page and scenes that are somehow sweet, funny and haunting all at once. Kathryn Graven has a journalist's eye for just the right detail, description and dialogue. She's able to capture growing up in the Midwest, coming of age in Japan and struggling to make sense of it afterward. You'll read passages aloud to others in the room. It's that good. - Sam Roe, Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Memoirs of a Mask Maker is a powerful, moving testament to meeting monumental loss with passion, determination and outsized creativity. In this tour de force memoir, Kathryn Graven delivers a paean to the ability of artistic endeavor to transform grief into beauty. Again and again, she shows how choosing love over despair can transcend cultural differences and ancient wounds, creating healing connections, a matrix within which to build a triumphant, generous life. - Susan Deborah King, poet, author of Coven, One-Breasted Woman, Bog Orchids and Moon Dance How can we travel from overwhelming grief to the first stirrings of a life plan that will work-and then to the long-sought reassurance of being loved, and being able to love again? I've never read a book that's so honest, so revealing, and so inspiring. Share this book with everyone in your life who's survived hard times-or is hoping to get to a better place. Kathryn Graven isn't just a mask maker; she's a teacher, a friend and a healer. - George Anders, Pulitzer Prize honoree, author of You Can Do Anything Kathryn Graven is a writer, mixed-media artist, musician and a lifelong sewer. Fluent in Japanese, she began her journalism career in Tokyo and became a Tokyo correspondent for The Wall Street Journal. Kathryn is a graduate of Stanford and Columbia Universities and was a fellow at the Program on U.S.-Japan Relations at Harvard University. Kathryn studied mixed-media painting and abstract art at Boston's Museum of Fine Arts and the Massachusetts College of Art and Design. She shows her artwork in open studios and participates in solo and group art events. Originally from Minnesota, Kathryn lives with her husband in Boston, and is mother to their two grown sons. During the summer, she lives on Great Cranberry Island, Maine. Passionate about sharing and preserving the bounty of her Maine garden, she makes delicious jams and irresistible pickles.
