 TAKING
LESSONS FROM THE DUMMY
A writer, voice in full throat, midway through an experimental novel, loses his visual voice like a filmmaker who loses his leading actor to a coronary. In anger he chastises his luck like a moody lover chiding celibacy. Frantically, he searches through his page proofs, hoping to find his voice but the proofs seize him like a leper's first kiss. Confused, he begins to dictate into a tape recorder during the day, and at night watch talk shows, wasting away like an anorexic performing aerobics. In desperation he enrolls in a "How to Throw Your Voice" correspondence course. His teacher, a master ventriloquist, wanted by the Actors' Equity Association for not paying his past union dues, has disappeared like a thief in a mystery novel. Now the writer takes lessons from the dummy, hoping that the dummy will be able to pull the strings. c2004 by Victor Henry (Victor H. Bausch)
