An Armchair Tour
of P’town

a review by Paul Olsen

The History of Provincetown

Written and illustrated by Susan Baker
Verve Editions

$20.00

In a beautifully illustrated book dedicated to “those who came, couldn’t park, and left,” Susan Baker

chronicles both the history and folklore of that seasonal community mecca, Provincetown, Massachusetts. '

In the introduction to The History of Provincetown, town resident John Skoyles writes that Baker's
book “captures the cockeyed, tilted spirit of Provincetown, along with some likely as well as deadly
facts.” That spirit is most apparent in the 50 anecdotes for which she offers illustrations; the tales come
fi'(|)l'll: a variety of sources including literature, P’town residents, and even Baker’s husband, poet Keith

t aus.

Her art is reminiscent of that found at the Bread and Puppet Circus, and her palette of rich colors is
similar to those used by Westford artist Frank Larson. Her colorful art is playful, childlike, and entertain-
mg.

In settings such as the Pied Piper, Spiritus Pizza, the Boatslip, and ‘the P’town dunes, Baker’s book tells
stories of sea monsters at Herring Cove, the AIDS epidemic, the great fire, and Camivale. She also chron-
icles celebrated P’town visits from stars including Tennessee Williams, Tony Perkins, Roy Cohn, John
Waters, Judy Garland, Nonnan Mailer, Grace Paley, Marvelous Marvin Haggler, and Wayland Flowers &
Madame. .

One could probably question the truth of some of the P’town legends that Baker documents. But why

bother? The History of Provincetown is fun, beautifully illustrated, and a must-have for both tourists and
“year-'rounders.” V
