It was the bit on masks and trances where I tuned out. It was fascinating and reminded me of a series of conversations with my old uni flat mate (psychologist, now an academic at Cambridge) about the possibility that your personallity might be a construct of your sub-conscious projected onto more fundamental impulses.
Partly I read that last chapter thinking "Oh, come on", partly I read it thinking "there might be something in this" and then wanting to have a word with myself about being irrational. Mainly, I read it thinking I'm not comfortable going here and I don't think anyone in the Improbables would be either.
I got to a happy place where I thought there genuinely might be something in masks because lots of people from different cultures seem to use it for some purpose or other but i didn't want to be one of them (at the moment)?
