简介

　　Few American playwrights have exerted as much influence on thecontemporary stage as Sam Shepard. His plays are performed on andoff Broadway and in all the major regional American theatres. Theyare also widely performed and studied in Europe, particularly inBritain, Germany and France, finding both a popular and scholarlyaudience. In this collection of seventeen original essays, Americanand European authors from different professional and academicbackgrounds explore the various aspects of Shepard's career - hisplays, poetry, music, fiction, acting, directing and film work. Thevolume covers the major plays, including Curse of the StarvingClass, Buried Child, and True West, as well as other lesser knownbut vitally important works. A thorough chronology of Shepard'slife and career, together with biographical chapters, a note fromthe legendary Joseph Chaikin, and an interview with the playwright,give a fascinating first-hand account of an exuberant andexperimental personality.
