Revue de presse

'Bottoms ... has an excellent perception of the performance side of drama, which makes his comments on Shepard's work even more invaluable ... another strength of the book is that Bottoms locates the plays in a wide spectrum of contexts ... convincing and fascinating ... Bottoms's book is very useful for understanding this highly prolific and versatile American playwright. Its detailed readings of Shepard's plays make it a substantial contribution to Shepard criticism.' American Studies
