Recenzii
“This new critical edition of The Iceman Cometh promises to be a much-consulted resource. King beautifully sums up the play’s relationship to the playwright’s life.”—Marc Robinson, Yale University
“The perfect follow-up to King’s Long Day’s Journey into Night, this edition presents the standard text of Iceman alongside supplementary materials remarkable for their breadth, erudition, and accessibility.”—Alexander Pettit, University of North Texas
“King’s stuff is the real McCoy and well worth the jack. His scrupulous commentary and notes, including his glossary of O’Neill’s slang, enrich our appreciation of an O’Neill masterpiece.”—Zander Brietzke, author of The Aesthetics of Failure: Dynamic Structure in the Plays of Eugene O’Neill
“In this extraordinary edition of The Iceman Cometh, King’s deep and encyclopedic knowledge of the play and its context are evident everywhere, from the exceedingly informative notes, a pleasure to read in themselves, to the illuminating mini-essays on the characters, to the comprehensive essays on the critical and historical context, to the fascinating narrative about the play in production. This volume is a vital contribution to our understanding of O’Neill’s great play.”—Brenda Murphy, coauthor of Eugene O’Neill Remembered
“King’s edition of The Iceman Cometh, with its rich array of materials and a definitive text of the play itself, is the standard edition of the play for readers and classroom use.”—Kurt Eisen, author of The Theatre of Eugene O’Neill
