Pig Iron brings back its Zoomed version of this fascinating kaleidoscopic theater piece.  It's always pretty iffy to call someone The Voice Of Their Generation, but Toshiki Okada (b. 1973), with his real-into-surreal depictions of the lives of urban young adults, has given every appearance over the last couple of decades of being The Voice Of His Generation in Japan.  This piece explores what happens when an artist becomes political:  although it was written for Pig Iron a decade ago, it seems particularly timely now.

MAKE A NIGHT OF IT:  The Esquire:  pour 2-1/4 oz. Bourbon, 3/4 oz. Grand Marnier, and 1 teaspoon orange juice, with 2 dashes of Angostura bitters, into an ice-filled cocktail shaker.  Shake.  Strain into a chilled Martini glass or coupe.  Garnish with a lemon twist.
