Paperback. Condizione: New. The Pantomime of a Southern Chameleon is an enigmatic memoir that details the experience of the narrator, Cartie Whitelaw, through his college experience in the Deep South of the United States. The book is as much a cultural critique as it is a recounting of Whitelaw's life and his ultimate coming-of-age. From art gallery shenanigans in New Orleans to run-ins with the law in Texas, Cartie takes you on an odyssey that explores identity, performance, and survival in the American South.

This book pushes us to look at ourselves and see how much we sacrifice for others' comfort; it pushes us to transform the chaos of our lives into something meaningful.…
