Marbles $12.98 A Platonic dialogue in the form of a double anachronism–the action takes place two centuries after our era–Joseph Brodsky’s only play, "Marbles," is set in a prison cell that alone provides for the three unities of classic drama: those of time, place, and action. A nightmare rather than a utopia, this play proceeds according to the immanent logic of mental aggravation as its two characters, the inmates Publius and Tullius, examine the tautology of their psychological, historical, and purely physical confines. The fusion of its dour, somewhat terrifying vision with the macabre hilarity of its verbal texture allows Marbles to take its audience beyond the farthest reaches of the theatre of the absurd, into territory more suitable for modernist imagination than for human experience.

In the spare lines of these vignettes, drawn from engagements where Wasylyshyn collected a life history, conducted psychological testing, and obtained organizational performance data, we are reminded that those with big responsibilities have obvious talents, but often also torments that can bedevil-or serve-others. Standing on Marbles provides an opportunity for readers to fine tune their own understanding of what leadership means, in terms of both the inner life and its outer effects. Whether you are a leader now, an aspiring leader, or even if you have no desire to ever lead anyone, there is likely something here for you-if only because you have had and likely will have bosses. This volume is illustrated with the stunning digital imagery of Richard McKnight.
