Una muerte muy saludable

Jeremy Clarkson

"Jeremy Clarkson knows there's more to life than cars. There is, after all, a whole world out there just waiting to be discovered. So, before he gets on to torque steer and active suspension, he's like to take a little time to consider the bigger picture." "Then there are the cars. Whether it's the poxiest little runabout or an exotic, fire-breathing supercar, no one else writes about cars like Jeremy. Unmoved by official claims and uninterested in press junkets, anything on four wheels is approached without fear or favour."--Jacket.

Matt Rasmussen

In his moving debut collection, Matt Rasmussen faces the tragedy of his brother's suicide, refusing to focus on the expected pathos, blurring the edge between grief and humor. In "Outgoing," the speaker erases his brother's answering machine message to save his family from "the shame of dead you / answering calls." In other poems, once-ordinary objects become dreamlike. A buried light bulb blooms downward, "a flower / of smoldering filaments." A refrigerator holds an evening landscape, "a tinfoil lake," "vegetables / dying in the crisper."

Eric Bogosian

In his fifth, brashest solo show, Eric Bogosian again aims scorching social commentary at the contemporary urban and suburban scene. From subway panhandlers to barbecue-crazed millionaires. Bogosian reveals the hidden humor, fear, hypocrisy and rage of Americans - including, for the first time, "Eric Bogosian," a hyperaggressive standup comic. With this seductive element of self-revelation, he heightens the disturbing connections between his characters and, by extension, between us and the people we try not to see - and not to be - every day.

Eduardo Rovner

"El volumen incluye las primeras obras del autor. En un lenguaje en que se combina el realismo, la metafóra y la estética del teatro del absurdo, el autor desarrolla conflictos de relaciones de poder que logra plasmar en impactantes imágenes. En esta obra se anticipan la sátira social y el humor que caracterizarán sus obras posteriores. Las piezas breves son particularmente apropiadas para estudiantes de teatro"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 58.
