Invisible People
The Masks of Becoming By Vernon Snell
Length1h 29m
About this audiobook
Invisible People — The Masks of Becoming is a Poetic Cinema journey through identity, performance, desire, validation, loneliness, healing, and the masks human beings learn to wear in order to survive. Across three interconnected books, Vernon Snell explores what happens when the reflection begins to crack, the applause disappears, and a person must confront the self underneath the performance.
Told through three voices—Benson, the raw voice of lived experience; Vernon, the philosophical interpreter; and the Curator, who preserves each experience as part of humanity's larger story—the work moves between poetry, memoir, psychology, philosophy, and visual art.
This is a journey from mask to mirror, from performance to presence, and from invisibility to becoming.
