336 Seiten, Taschenbuch

Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

This book contains plays by Genny Lim (Paper Angels), Wakako Yamauchi (The MusicLessons), Momoko Iko (Gold Watch), Velina Hasu Houston (Tea), Jeannie Barroga (Walls), and Elizabeth Wong (Letters to a Student Revolutionary). The volume includes an extended introduction, a profile of each playwright, and an appendix. The six plays of this anthology represent some of the best dramatic literature written by Asian American women since the 1970s. Each is a groundbreaking work and addresses in its own way the experiences of Asians in America. All six playwrights are American-born daughters of Asian immigrants, and their voices span the genres of naturalism, impressionism, ritual drama, postmodern collage, and media-influenced episodic drama.
