The play goes on

a memoir

Edición de la obra The Play Goes On

"In his Rewrites, Simon wrote about his beginnings - growing up with longing, the early years of working in television, his first real love, his first play, his first success, his first brush with failure, and most moving of all, his first great loss."--BOOK JACKET. "The same willingness to open his heart to the reader is here in The Play Goes On as he continues the story, beginning where the earlier book left off, with the days immediately following the death of his beloved wife, Joan."--BOOK JACKET. "Simon moved quickly to work on another play, clearly an effort to keep himself busy and his mind off his loss. The period covered in The Play Goes On is rich with examples of art imitating life. In fact, Simon's most acclaimed plays - one of which won him not only Broadway's Tony Award but the Pulitzer Prize as well - were written during this time and were a look backward at his younger life. Just as he created the play Chapter Two out of his earlier experience of loss and remarriage, so out of his childhood and his years in the army and his early days as a writer he created Brighton Beach Memoirs, Biloxi Blues, Broadway Bound, and Lost in Yonkers."--BOOK JACKET.
