Review:
The theater world's great rediscovery of Thornton Wilder shifts into high gear with this glorious volume of short plays--some recently discovered among his papers and published here for the first time. The Pulitzer-winning author of Our Town and The Skin of Our Teeth returned constantly to the short form, perhaps more than any other contemporary playwright. His mastery is revealed in cut gems Happy Journey to Trenton and Camden, The Long Christmas Dinner, and especially Pullman Car Hiawatha. With this volume edited by Donald Gallup and Wilder's nephew A. Tappan Wilder we add the playlets of two great unfinished cycles, The Seven Ages of Man and The Seven Deadly Sins, several of which have been completed by a scholar, respectfully based on Wilder's writings and conversations. Best among the hitherto unproduced works is Rivers Under the Earth, about the dark currents moving beneath the placid surface of a family on summer vacation. Like so many of Wilder's longer works, these short plays seem to be homely slices of Americana--but every once in a while they suddenly yield glimpses of the infinite.
About the Author:
Thornton Wilder was one of the most distinguished and versatile American writers of the 20th century. Among many honors, he was awarded three Pulitzer Prizes: two for drama, one for fiction. His stage works include Our Town, The Skin of Our Teeth and The Matchmaker--remaining among the best-loved and most-produced plays of all time.
