It by Joseph Roach
A witty and engaging exploration of the elusive quality of charm, animal magnetism, or charisma possessed by extraordinarily interesting people through the ages
It showcases Roach's trademark gift of making the invisible visible across a dazzlingly broad spectrum of performance behaviors and time periodsWittily epigrammatic (celebrity sooner or later extracts in abjection what it bestows in glamor), It gives us a fresh vocabulary for interpreting how after-images endure in cultural memory through 'the passage of exceptional personalities through the imaginative life of their tribes.' - Andrew Sofer, Boston College
