Acts of Kindness, Acts of Contrition
As 1947 began, Lynn Horvath was a ten-year-old girl living with her family and friends in a comfortable neighborhood in West Los Angeles. World War II had ended, and for Southern California, it was a time of parties and prosperity. Then, the neighborhood was shocked by the brutal murder of Jeanne French, a popular and kind person. ACTS OF KINDNESS, ACTS OF CONTRITION explores the lingering shadows of this true and still unsolved murder. As Lynn and her friends become adults under the shadow of the murder, they must make dramatic choices and decisions, some wise, some heroic, and some tragic. The book follows the radical cultural changes that occur between the 1940's and the present time

The Goat, or Who is Sylvia?
"Albee's perversely funny sendup of a standard mid-life crisis drama ... dares to suggest that even the most flawed and confused human beings deserve compassionate understanding, and the failure to proffer it is a species of bestiality far more abhorrent than the sexual kind." Variety On his 50th birthday, Martin, a world-famous architect prepares for a recorded interview by an old friend in the TV business; but in the course of the conversation a secret emerges that threatens to turn celebration to tragedy. Edward Albee's black comedy offers a fascinating look at the limits liberal society can be pushed to, and asks the audience to question their beliefs, to examine their own bigoted views and reconsider their judgement of matters that may or may not be considered socially taboo. Winner of the 2002 Tony Award for Best Play, The Goat, or Who is Sylvia? is a hugely enjoyable parable that plumbs the deepest questions of social constraints on the individual expression of love. This Modern Classics edition features a new introduction by Toby Zinman.
