About the book
Explore how a culture sublimates the things that seem to threaten the established order, creating secrets kept by individuals as well as institutions. How does a society cleanse itself of secrets and become more open? What secrets are necessary and healthy? What are today's new taboos? Secrets entertains and provokes with Maori cultural taboos, child abuse under the guise of piano lessons, myths about poverty, the future of surveillance technology, government intrigue from J. Edgar Hoover to the Red Guards, a father's deathbed disclosure, secret languages, and simple white lies. Through stories, interviews, essays, poems, and photographs, almost all is revealed!
