New York University Ottendorfer Series, Neue Folge, Band 18. Softcover volume, measuring approximately 6" x 8.25", shows light shelfwear. Binding is sound. Pages are clean and without markings. 295 pages."A marital argument. An unwanted pregnancy. A lost job. An illicit love affair. Such arte the pivotal issues of Kroetz's plays. They are plays describing everyday people with many dreams, few words to express them, and little hope of achieving them. People caught helplessly in the tidepools of mainstream consumer society. Kroetz captures them with a language and characterization so convincing, so compelling, that within the space of a few seasons he has become one of West Germany's most popular and acclaimed playwrights. The work examines the author and his writings, allowing both to speak for themselves while simultaneously following the interconnecting threads of philosophy, theme, and style which make up the fabric of Kroetz's proletarian dramaturgy."
