Synopses & ReviewsBook News Annotation:A lovely book showcasing 50-some extraordinary masks, shown in full-
page photos, with interpretive commentary on each mask's character
and role on facing pages. This glorious gallery alone could have made
a book, but here it is enhanced with text on the four kinds of dramas
in which the masks are used, a description of the mask-carving
process, and a preface by Princeton anthropologist Hilda Geertz on
how the masks function as a part of village life. Photographs are by
Paul Schraub. A museum show on Balinese masks, curated by the author,
is reported to be touring the US.
