Trade Paperback : $15.00 Buy	God's Ear A Play Jenny Schwartz Faber and Faber, Inc. "This ode to love, loss, and the routines of life has the economy and dry wit of a Sondheim love song . . . Schwartz is a real talent and she is trying something ambitious . . . In [her] very modern way, [she is] making a rather old-fashioned case for the power of the written word."—Jason Zinoman, The New York Times

The Haitian Trilogy

Plays: Henri Christophe, Drums and Colours, and The Haytian Earth

Derek Walcott Farrar, Straus and Giroux Paperbacks

“The Nobel poet laureate attempts to recreate West Indian history on a canvas as large and mythic as Shakespeare’s War of the Roses. It’s a heroic, monumental undertaking—and not surprisingly, St. Lucia-born Walcott summons the ghost of Shakespeare in his epigraphs, echoes and metaphors. Walcott’s lines weave in and out of blank verse as easily as an old man walks in and out of memory.”—Cynthia Haven, San Francisco Chronicle

Walker and The Ghost Dance

Plays

Derek Walcott Farrar, Straus and Giroux Paperbacks

"These two verse dramas show 1992 Nobel Prize winner Walcott at the top of his form. They are lean, focused, and powerful . . . These are history plays at their most energetic. Highly recommended."—Thomas E. Luddy, Salem State College, Salem, Massachusetts, Library Journal (starred review)

I Am My Own Wife

A Play

Doug Wright; With an Introduction by the Author Faber and Faber, Inc.

Winner of the Pulitzer Prize

"I Am My Own Wife is the most stirring new work to appear on Broadway this fall [2003]. With nothing to recommend it but a story that is both moving and intellectually absorbing, a staging that is both careful and lovely and a performance that is a true tour de force, we should all hope that theatergoers prove that it belongs there . . . Fascinating and beautifully written."—Bruce Weber, The New York Times
