Child, Abigail

1990

1. "The Swamp: America's new family entertainment!" From bookstore to theme park, Swamp depicts how culture threatens to sink from sight in a mire of relentless progress. Enthusiastic overacting and fancy dress parties form the basis of Abigail Child's soap opera send-up which approaches the narrative structure of a TV serial so it can then splutter apart in a dizzying, discontinuous montage. The confused heroine, played by writer Carla Harryman, runs a beleaguered bookstore, and is trying to find time to tell her fiancé that she's seeing another woman—her psychiatrist's receptionist. As plots and characters pile up, their intrigues begin to converge.
