Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead 81 reviews Tom Stoppard
Grove Press, 1994
Brilliant.
+ A grand aimlessness + "Uncertainty is the normal state"
No mean to be offensive or anything, but I honestly feel that if people do not find R&G Are Dead hysterically funny and/or wonderfully ingenious, they have probably missed Stoppard's point in this play.
This play was during the age known as Theatre of the Absurd, when ridiculous plots and ...

Three Uses of the Knife: On the Nature and Purpose of Drama 17 reviews David Mamet
Vintage, 2000
My Copy Is Torn To Shreds!
+ So much in this short volume. + A contemporary poetic.
I bought this book when it first came out in hardcover. It was about triple the price that it is now on Amazon, and many people I knew thought I was insane to buy such a small book for a high price. But to me -- it was all too worth it. David Mamet is all at once a very clear writer and a very ...

Anna in the Tropics 14 reviews Nilo Cruz
Theatre Communications Group, 2003
Loved it on stage!
+ At last, some content
I saw a university perform it and it blew me away! I saw the reviews and pictures for the broadway production and I feel that the more professional version is not doing the play justice as UTEP did. I still think that it is a beautiful well, written play.

American Buffalo 7 reviews David Mamet
Grove Press, 1994
Not for the Weak
+ stark, harsh, broken American dreamers..
It's unfortunate that the first Amazon review of Mamet's brilliant work is by Mr. C.B.Liddell, a pompous, pontificating Brit who doesn't understand the play. I'm not sticking up for Mamet: his works are very hit and miss, and even the hits are an acquired taste (like Monty Python), I'm just ...

New Music: A Trilogy Reynolds Price
Theatre Communications Group, 1993
A trilogy of plays that follows the Avery family, their friends and acquaintances through 37 years of life in a North Carolina town, from pre-World War II until the Vietnam era. Through their terse, elegant, often poetic speech, a certain melancholy at its base, readers gradually know these people and enter their world.

Grove Press, 2006
A Treasure Chest of Korean Stories
I'm Korean-American with a Korean mother, and when I was little, I remember her telling me some crazy stories. They were like the fairy tales I heard in school (I grew up entirely in the US), except they had odd characters doing odd things. At least they seemed odd at the time.
In my late ...
