Suzan-Lori Parks

did not finish this book

I liked the concept, storyline, and character development in the America Play better,though I did appreciate the intimacy and interaction between the two brothers.

I've been thinking about sibling rivalry and was taken in with the relationship between Lincoln & Booth. The course of this tragedy was not surprising however it left a deeper ache because it felt inevitable in some ways. Sort of like the set-up of 3-Card Monte, cycles of trauma that continue to repeat.

One of the various plays I read for the drama lit. classes in graduate school. This was one of my favorite authors. I went on to present a conference paper on this play.
