A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

A second collection of plays by the legendary French contemporary playwright

In The Solitude Of Cotton Fields (1987) is an extraordinary duologue between two men who meet randomly on the street and who find themselves locked in a struggle between life and death; Quai Ouest and Sallinger are both set in America and provide extraordinarily prescient insight into America's relationship with outsiders. The Night Before The Forests is a soul-searching monologue addressed to an unseen audience whose identity is never fully discovered, although it is constantly in question. "A creator of a mythology of the underworld, a champion of the underdog and the lone wolf, and a pioneer of a wholly new style of dramatic writing" - The Times

"A classic of our time, who, since 1990, is the French author most performed abroad"- Le Monde

Bernard-Marie Koltès was born in Metz in 1948. He studied at the School attached to the Theatre National de Strasbourg, where he began to write plays.

His final play, Roberto Zucco, was premiered in Berlin in 1990. He died from complications due to AIDS in 1989.
