Summary: Rave Review
Review: Most thoroughly enjoyable read in quite a while. The theatre is truely timeless, for this book, written around 1958, is still quite resonant today. His prose is wonderful - "There is nothing like tasting the grit of fear for rediscovering that the umbilical cord is made of piano wire." And it was also, at times, hilarious. I laughed out loud at many parts. An engrossing, exciting, truly touching book. It has the momentum of a play; suspense, pace,and excitement, which is all the more amazing because you already know what a famous playwright he would become. The incredible drive, perseverence, and just plain miracles in his life!
