I've Heard the Mermaids Singing
Polly Vandersma, an awkward, shy, and deliciously funny "organizationally handicapped" temporary assistant, obtains her first permanent position at the age of 31. Polly narrates her own tale while working for the curator of an art gallery, highlighting the humorous and melancholy pretensions of the art world. At the same time, she reveals a unique portion of her own inner universe, transporting the audience to enchanting locales in this modest assault on the concept of authority everywhere.
