SynopsisNew writings on race, politics, and theatre, as well as Mr. Brustein's incisive theatre reviews and deft portraits of stage luminaries. Brustein is an elegant and eloquent voice in the wilderness of contemporary American culture. -Robin Lippincott, New York Times Book Review, New writings on race, politics, and theatre, as well as Mr. Brustein's incisive theatre reviews and deft portraits of stage luminaries. Brustein is an elegant and eloquent voice in the wilderness of contemporary American culture. --Robin Lippincott, New York Times Book Review, Robert Brustein's new book functions as a barometer of our current cultural climate. Never one to shy away from controversy, Brustein includes accounts of his celebrated debate with August Wilson over the issue of segregated casting; his spirited defense of the National Endowment for the Arts; his eloquent response to the impact of political correctness on the theatre and the university; and his forthright criticism of what he calls coercive philanthropy.
