 | From the Other Side of the Century II by Douglas Messerli, Mac Wellman
Drama. Like the 1,200-page volume of American poetry that preceded it, From the Other Side of the Century II explores literature of the last quarter century, this time American dramatic writing, making available important theater texts for reading and teaching. From the park bench of Albee's The Zoo Story to the cemetery on Martha's Vineyard where friends have gathered in Tony Kushner's play to illegally bury their playwright associate, the plays in this volume reveal the lives and deaths, the genius and absurdity, the overpowering loves and silly fears of the American people through a vibrant and poetic dramatic expression over the last forty years. Essential for anyone interested in contemporary theater. AUTHOR: Douglas Messerli, Mac Wellman
