I've Heard the Mermaids Singing
Polly Vandersma, an awkward, shy, and hilariously comic "organizationally handicapped" temporary assistant, lands her first permanent position at age 31. Polly narrates her own story, presenting the humorous and heartbreaking pretensions of the art world, while she works for the curator of an art gallery. At the same time, she reveals a specific portion of her private universe, transporting the audience to enchanting locales in this modest assault on the concept of power everywhere.
