Reviews

These are made-up worlds, but made up out of the junk of the real. Many of these plays betray the American delight in the tinkerer's habit and the outsider's pleasure in the beauty of random arrangement, the accidental, and the discarded. What makes them so powerful is their obsession with truth of perception and precision of expression. - Mac Wellman, from the Preface
