WHAT BOOK IS ON YOUR NIGHTSTAND? -- by Steve Nadis
In a recent interview, Paris Green, a star of the Chicago burleseque stage, was asked "what book is on your nightstand?" She mentioned just one book, WONDER SHOWS, which was, in fact, written by my brother. It was a somewhat surprising choice for a burleseque star, despite the fact that the book is excellent (and it really is; I'm not just saying it). But it is a rather scholarly work, published by an academic press, not a mindless page-turner. Nevertheless, Paris Green somehow happened to find this book which somehow happened to occupy a singular place on her most assuredly singular nightstand.
