About this title

About the Author:

Esther Harriott is a former managing editor at the New York Public Library, contributing writer to Newsday and director of cultural affairs at the State University of New York at Buffalo. She lives in New York City.

From School Library Journal:

YA-- Harriott includes interviews with Lanford Wilson, David Mamet, Charles Fuller, and Marsha Norman, as well as informative essays on these playwrights and Sam Shepard. Students of drama or literature will find frank discussions which include the subjects' inspirations, experiments, mentors, philosophies, and themes. These writers are noted for their explosive, non-traditional ideas; this book allows student dramatists and writers, as well as students of literature, access to first-person comments by the playwrights and critical assessment of their work. Schools with strong drama curricula or emphasis on modern literature will want to add this to the library collection.
