Understanding Adrienne Kennedy

de Philip C. Kolin · Publicada por primera vez en 2004

"In this critical study of Adrienne Kennedy, Philip C. Kolin explores the interrelationship of life and work of one of the most respected African American playwrights. For more than four decades Kennedy's theater has raised profound issues about race, gender, selfhood, and performativity in American culture - topics that Kolin investigates throughout his reading of Kennedy's career. Making her challenging canon more accessible, Kolin offers in-depth analyses of her plays, political scripts, and experimental autobiography, People Who Led to My Plays, as well as examines her neglected novel, Deadly Triplets, and examples of her short fiction."--Jacket.
