Yellow Face
David Henry Hwang

Theatre Communications Group, 2009

?A pungent play of ideas with a big heart. Yellow Face brings to the national discussion about race a sense of humor a mile wide, an even-handed treatment and a hopeful, healing vision of a world that could be.?? Variety ?Charming, touching, and cunningly organized as well as funny, [with] an Ibsenite reach and stature far beyond any issues of Hwang?s self-image.?? The Village Voice ?It?s about our country, about public image, about ...

August Wilson

Theatre Communications Group, 2008

Ma Rainey Don't Bite Her Tongue, And Neither Does August Wilson
Readers of this space know that over the past year or so I have highlighted the musical works of various acoustic and electric black blues performers, mainly the former. The hidden question posed by those performers and subsequently by this reviewer is- "What are the blues?" The answers I have given have ranged from the perennial- "the blues is the dues" to old Lightnin' Hopkins' refrain- "the ...

I read this while on vacation at the beach. Please ensure that your cooler is fully stocked prior to cracking the spine. What a great find! This book is too funny for me to do it justice.

Fixed Ideas: America Since 9.11

Joan Didion

New York Review Books, 2003

Oh see what we cannot say
What has happened to freedom of speech in America? Why are we not publicly and openly debating the self-serving and undeomocratic policies of the Bush administration? Didion, in another fine essay on American life, asks these questions and tries to answer them. This is a fine book for anyone who worries about our nation proceeding out of control in its war for oil and corporate interests. ...

David Noonan, Rich Burlew, ...

Wizards of the Coast, 2005

Great additional sourcebook, full of good ideas
Well, another Eberron book, and another winner. The artwork in this book is awesome, the cover art, the chapter beginning and pictures throughout are all of consistent high quality. The content seems to be well laid out, however the lack of index in reference books is becoming frustrating. The book contains the following Chapters (you will need the TOC as there is no index...) ...

Marvel Comics, 2007

Okay Axis Here We Come Again
Wow! When I saw that Marvel was putting out a collection of Invaders stories I jumped for joy. I can still remember the thrill of that cover to Giant-Sized Invaders # 1 when I was a little kid. New to comics, I didn't know too much but I liked Captain America (natch) and there he was exploding off the cover. This book was really a lot of fun. And it was a decent size collection where Marvel ...

Random House Trade Paperbacks, 2001

An interesting personal history
I really enjoy Frank Rich's columns. This book tells you all about his childhood which was quite sad, in an upper-middle class sort of way.

Kay Boyle, Robert Pinsky, ...

Down The Shore Publishing, 2000

Absolutely worth the price of admission!
The sheer scope of this collection shows how impactful the landscape (and seascape) of the Jersey Shore has been. There isn't a bad story in this collection. They are evocative, exciting, emotional and just plain well-done.

ABC Book Publishing, 2008

RELEASE THE FAVOR OF GOD IN YOUR FINANCES TODAY!
BIBLICAL PRINCIPLES FOR RELEASING FINANCIAL PROVISION! is awesome. The first book I have ever seen that gives a balanced and accurate message on GOD's plan for financial peace, wholeness and soundness in the lives of believers. What I found refreshing is that it makes no promises of quick fixes or get rich quick schemes and methods but instead page by page offers an outstanding, inspiring and ...

Hot Seat: Theater Criticism for The New York Times, 1980-1993

Frank Rich

Random House, 1998

Almost as exciting as being there.
This is one of the best purchases I've made in a long while. I sat up way past my bedtime pouring over this wonderful book. Frank Rich became the NY Times Theatre Critic shortly after I began making annual pilgrimages to NYC and staying abreast of what was happening both on and off-Broadway. Consequently, almost every show I've seen over the years is reviewed somewhere in this book. And ...

Essential Luke Cage/Power Man, Vol. 2 (Marvel Essentials) (Vol 2)

1 review
Don McGregor, Bill Mantlo, ...

Marvel Comics, 2006

"Who is the man that'd risk his neck for his brother-man?" (Has it already been used?)
One of the good aspects of Mr. Cage (and I don't mean Nicholas, of course!!!) is that he doesn't want to be a world-saving superhero; although he wears a rather flashy costume and, sometimes, goes toe-to-toe with superheavies like "Dr. Doom" (but, then again, who hasn't had a run-in with him in the "Marvel Kingdon?"), he makes it quite clear that he's only trying to make a living, and, if he has ...

Lance Star - Sky Ranger (Volume 1)

Frank Dirscherl, Win Scott Eckert, ...

Cornerstone Book Publishers, 2008

Adventure Gold
Lance Star: Sky Ranger is definitely a gem of an adventure. There are four stories by four different writers with four different feels. Yet they all tie together in a nice package. I can't say I have a favorite. We're taken from the coast of San Francisco, with a brief visit to the Hidalgo Trading Co, to the shores of Hawaii, then to the mountains of Tibet where lies a hidden civilization, and ...
