A sly and stylish novelremarkably told through museum wall labelsabout a 20thcentury woman who transforms herself from a precious object into an unforgettable protagonist.Author Christine Coulson spent twentyfive years writing for the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Her final project was to write wall labels for the museums new British Galleries. During that time, she dreamt of using The Mets strict label format to describe people as intricate works of art. The result is this bullet of a novel that imagines a privileged twentiethcentury woman as an artifactan object prized, collected, and critiqued. One Woman Show revolves around the life of Kitty Whitaker as she is defined by her potential for display and moved from collection to collection through multiple marriages. Coulson precisely distills each stage of this sprawling life, every brief snapshot in time a wry reflection on womanhood, ownership, value, and power.Described with poignancy and humor over the course of a century, Kitty emerges as an eccentric heroine who disrupts her porcelain life with both major force and minor transgressions. As human foibles propel each delicately crafted text, Coulsons playful reversal on our interaction with art ultimately questions who really gets to tell our stories.
