Description
"Spanning nearly 60 years, this volume contains seven of Laurents' most acclaimed and challenging works. Featuring new introductions by the author, this anthology begins with Home of the Brave, the potent wartime drama that launched Laurents' career in 1945. Also included are The Enclave, regarded as a ground-breaking gay play; Jolson Sings Again, an historical drama that deals with the Hollywood blacklist; My Good Name, a comedy that examines the greed of the 1980s; 2 Lives, a frequently poignant portrait of an elderly gay couple coming to terms with their lives; and Closing Bell, a searing play that takes a hard look at the ravages of alcoholism. Finally, here is Laurents' most recent work: Attacks On The Heart, a look at the complex relationship between a liberal American filmmaker and an Islamic woman in the aftermath of September 11."--BOOK JACKET.
