A very good collection of Hwang's early work
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 25 years ago
David Henry Hwang is best-known for his play, "M Butterfly," and this is a shame. Although "Butterfly" is indeed a wonderful play, Hwang is one of the more versatile playwrights today, and this book shows the breadth of it. Most of his plays (FOB, Dance and the Railroad) deal with Chinese Americans, but he often wanders into other veins. "1000 Airplanes on the Roof," a science-fiction piece about alien abduction, is a terrific example. Try to get ahold of a copy of this book if you can; it is well worth it.
