Bentley on Brecht
Recipient of 2007 The Robert Chesley Foundation Lifetime Achievement Award in Playwriting Winner of 2006 International Association of Theatre Critics Thalia Prize Winner of 2006 Village Voice OBIE Awards Lifetime Achievement Award Since their first meeting in Santa Monica, California in 1942, Eric Bentley has been Bertolt Brecht's other, offstage voice. Just as Brecht reshaped modern theater, Bentley's writings on Brecht helped shape his reputation in the United States and the rest of the world. Bentley on Brecht represents a lifetime of critical and personal thoughts on both Brecht as friend and Brecht as influential literary figure. Brought together in this volume are Brecht-Bentley correspondence, Bentley's personal recollections of his years with Brecht, including Charles Laughton's production of Galileo, Brecht's testimony before the House Un-American Activities Committee, and Bentley's analysis of Brecht's plays.
La Gorda
A few years. A few months. A few weeks. A few days. Simple multiple choice answers to a complicated question. "How long would it take to ruin a man, his family, his church, and his community?" Well if you ask Sheriff Marcus Wheeler he would tell you he holds the world record of accomplishing all four in just a few days. In reality, most of it was accomplished in under eighteen hours. Was he proud of that? Absolutely! He had warned Pastor Bo Ostermon what would happen to those he loved, if he failed to hold up his end of the deal. After all, isn't a sheriff supposed to be a man of his word? So, as he had promised, he destroyed that little preacher man and became the town hero in the process. ...
Black Night Bright Dawn
Black Night Bright Dawn, a novel of good versus evil set against the momentous events of the 1930's and 40's, chronicles the lives of two look-alike young men reared in vastly different cultures. Adolph Schweid is the son of rabidly anti-Semitic parents living in Berlin, while Eric Roth is the son of Jewish parents in Brooklyn, New York. Adolf exhibits a fanatical hatred of Jews through his actions as a teenager and as an SS officer in World War II. Eric comes of age in lower middle-class circumstances, proud of his Jewish heritage and later serves as an OSS officer during the war. Shifting between Berlin and Brooklyn, the story describes how the cataclysmic events of that critical period in history influences each one's life, culminating in a climactic and explosive confrontation when a long-buried secret leads to a post-war meeting between the two.
