Recenzii

'Will definitely fill a wide and gaping lacuna in this field of theatre scholarship.' - Dr Alison Forsythe, University of Aberystwyth, UK
'This volume will be essential reading for anyone interested in American Drama.' - Soyica Colbert, Dartmouth College, UK
'This collection will serve as a very helpful co-text for readers of Parks’s notoriously “difficult” plays, as it gives background and context, as well as possible readings of some of the more cryptic lines and figures.' -  Deborah Thompson, Colorado State University, Modern Drama
'Suzan-Lori Parks in Person: Interviews and Commentaries is an essential addition to dramatic literary scholarship, in that it provides a textured, critical--if penultimate--interactive means through which to meet Parks, as a dramatist, a thinker, and as a person whose work continues to probe human relations historically and presently, thoughtfully and dynamically.' - Jaye Austin Williams, California State University, Long Beach, Text & Presentation
'In total, Suzan-Lori Parks in Person is an engaging work that offers insights into the playwright's mind and work, from her undergraduate thesis to her Pulitzer Prize-winning Topdog/Underdog and her international project 365 Days/365Plays. Kolin and Young provide texts that explore not only how she works but also how she develops seeds of ideas into fully realized productions.' - Valerie M. Joyce, Villanova University, Comparative Drama
