With an Introduction by Ross Wetzsteon
â Sam Shepard is phenomenal...the best practicing American playwright.â â The New Republic
â Sam Shepard is the most exciting presence in the movie world and one of the most gifted writers ever to work on the American stage.â â Marsha Norman
â The most ruthlessly experimental and uncompromising of today's young writers.â â John Lahr
â Sam Shepard fills the role of professional playwright as a good ballet dancer or acrobat fulfills his role in performance. That is, he always delivers, he executes feats of dexterity and technical difficulty that an untrained person could not, and makes them seem easy.â â Michael Feingold, The Village Voice
"One of the most original, prolific, and gifted dramatists at work today.â â The New Yorker
â Increasingly recognized as one of the more significant dramatists in the English-speaking world.â â Charles R. Bachman, Modern Drama
