Reviews
"""Monteiro and Murphy's exemplary compilation will be greeted with cheers from those of us interested in gaining new access to the playwright's elusive personality and the nature of his closest associations."" --Robert M. Dowling, author of Eugene O'Neill: A Life in Four Acts ""Adding previously unpublished memoirs to available biographical material on the playwright, the volume corrects, perhaps inadvertently, some prevailing misconceptions about O'Neill. Biographies of O'Neill abound, to be sure. What distinguishes this volume is the gathering of disparate voices of O'Neill's family members, friends, associates, and acquaintances, which vividly bring into relief the pitfalls of the single narrator's voice, be it that of the biographer or the autobiographer. Recommended."" --CHOICE ""Murphy and Monteiro have provided a timely addition to the emerging 'full' picture of Eugene O'Neill--the playwright, the artist, and the man"". --Resources for American Literary Study, 2018 ""Eugene O'Neill Remembered is a cabinet of curiosity for diverse, fragmentary evocations left by a noisy writer and a difficult man who self-consciously made literary and theatrical history in the first part of the twentieth century."" --William Davies King, author of Another Part of a Long Story: Literary Traces of Eugene O'Neill and Agnes Boulton"
