2008 Fiction

Cafe le Monde

Mee, Charles L.

A dozen tables, a sidewalk, lovers and philosophers and sisters and arguing married couples having coffee. Street performers of all sorts, human statues, dancers, opera singers—a world not of one plotline, one story, one narrative, but a landscape of multiple stories, myriad vivid impressions, and total pleasure. Like life. [12 to 16 actors]
