Abstract
THE GREENWICH VILLAGE Halloween Parade evolved since 1974 from intimate street theater into a major New York City event. Despite such apparent success, some veteran participants have become highly critical of the event, seeing it as an appropriation of a community celebration. In his book on the parade, the author gave voice to such criticisms. In doing so, the author found himself on a collision course with the current organizer of the parade who questioned the authority of individual voices. The essay examines the problematic nature of attempting to find a balance among informants' contradictory points of view.
