Drama.

Joyce Carol Oates.

1 m, 1 f.

Simple set.

A duet for voices, this drama with undertones of black comedy introduces Pinktoes, a woman who has been murdered in a desolate area of Texas by Mr. America, a serial killer. Pinktoes speaks from beyond the grave without sentiment or self-pity while Mr. America speaks from prison. Each is an eloquent variant of American archetypical primitive innocense.
