An intellectually savvy, and emotionally vulnerable African-American college graduate finds herself at yet another “painfully liberal, post-collegiate, anti- establishment, artistic event.” The Inside wanders through the landscape of a Black woman’s mind and soul as she comes to terms with her position as an outsider. Lydia Diamond presents us with a piercing take on race, academia, art, and sexuality. By turns amusingly ironic and heartbreakingly vulnerable, Emma serves up her interior life with astonishing honesty.
