The action revolves around Twain's \"1002nd Arabian Night\" (1883). Envisioning Scherezade and King Shahiyar the next day, Twain explores what happens when a boy is raised as a girl, and a girl is raised as a boy! Scherezade also narrates two other Twain yarns - \"Wapping Alice\" (1898) and \"How Nancy Jackson Married Kate Wilson\" (1902), which deal with the taboo topic of same-sex unions. Disguised as comedies, these three one-act plays reveal Twain's closeted past as a radical feminist theorist, destabilizing biological categories by suggesting that gender is a performance.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ray Nelson, Nicoletta Karam\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1490501029\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781490501024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Createspace Independent Publishing Platform\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/21\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 138\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.31lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.80h x 5.08w x 0.30d","brand":"Ray Nelson","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47202304459007,"sku":"9781490501024","price":6.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_21ac3e35-1a49-4ba5-a22e-aefd1843ecc6.jpg?v=1756820204","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/mark-twains-1002nd-arabian-night-ray-nelson-9781490501024","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
