Take It Or Leave It, 1998

This audio production of three major chapters from Take It Or Leave It, with its sonic landscape created entirely from electronically modified bits and pieces of Federman's voice, further exaggerates the self-canceling aspect of Frenchy's narrative as Federman's voice is heard obliterating itself as quickly as he can relate the story.
