Suzan Lori-parks A Casebook

Suzan-Lori Parks: A Casebook is the first critical volume dedicated to the works of one of America's most engaging and provocative literary and dramatic talents. Suzan-Lori Parks is one of America's most provocative theatre artists, an award-winning playwright and screenwriter. She recently won the Pulitzer Prize for Drama for her play, Topdog / Underdog . Parks is also the authour of The Red Letter Plays (TCG, Dec 2000), The America Play and Other Works (TCG, third printing) and Venus (TCG, third printing). She is currently in residence at the California Institute of the Arts in Valencia. Parks is a fascinating subject who well deserves a volume in the Routledge series "Casebooks on Modern Dramatists," and an exceptional group of eight contributing writers have been drawn together to weave what will undoubtedly be a highly engaging work. The contributors themselves, and their varied interests in Parks, encapsulate the interdisciplinary nature of this volume, This extraordinary volume will include commentary by distinguished dramamtic and literary scholars and theorists, as well as noted and cutting edge historians of African-American culture and popular culture.Smith-Howard, Alycia is the author of 'Suzan Lori-parks A Casebook' with ISBN 9780415973816 and ISBN 0415973813.
