Pulitzer Prize Finalist

"Mr. Greenberg brings his gymnastic verbal skills to bear on the subject of the all-American pastime . . . An enchanting and enchanted take on baseball . . . [It is] the story of Darren Lemming, a god among baseball players and the star of a team called the Empires, who sets off a complicated chain of ultimately tragic events when he publicly announces that he is gay. This allows Mr. Greenberg to consider . . . big, big subjects like sexual and racial prejudice, moral responsibility, public versus personal identities and the inability of people to ever truly know one another."—Ben Brantley, The New York Times

"A solid, well-organized, and informative anthology. It is an excellent text and source book."—Stage of the Art

"Seldom has [LaBute's] heart expressed itself as ambitiously or compellingly as it does in This Is How It Goes, the most frank, fearless look at race relations from a white dramatist since Rebecca Gilman's Spinning into Butter."—USA Today

"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)
