Publisher's summary
In these seven monologues, recorded before live audiences at New York's Performance Space 122, Daisey tells true stories from his life that range from the terrible beauty of his rural Maine hometown, to shipping weapons to the Middle East, to the unintentionally hilarious dangers of defending free speech.
In Games People Play, games in all their forms are center stage, from the mysterious card game "Stinko!", beloved by Mike's in-laws; to the rough games played with brothers and sisters; to a dangerous childhood friend who loved driving back roads at night with the lights off, looking for oblivion in all the wrong places.
Critic reviews
"Comic delivery so sharp it draws blood." (San Jose Mercury News)
"Irresistible storytelling...elevating and hilarious." (San Francisco Weekly)
"Daisey is a brainy, manic hoot, a blond, owl-shaped cross between cultural critic Noam Chomsky and rambunctious actor-rocker Jack Black." (The Seattle Times)
"Relentlessly interesting...brilliantly spun narrative...Daisey has the kind of timing and dramatic instinct that would make the most mundane story interesting." (The New York Times)

a masterful storyteller
It is not necessarily the story itself that made this such a wonderful listen, rather it is the heartfelt and mastery of Mike Daisey . He could make the instructions for a tax return a pleasure to hear

Yuck
I love good storytelling. I didn’t love this. I followed all of the digressions hoping for a fresh start, but was always disappointed. This is my first work by Mike Daisey and will likely be my last.
