Opis

Before Lanford Wilson became a Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright he wrote dozens of short stories and poems, many of which take place in the 1950s, small-town Missouri where he grew up. This selection of Wilson's early work, written between 1955 and 1967 provides a rare look at a young writer developing his style.
