{"product_id":"9781733046503","title":"A Journal of the Plague Year, and Other Plays and Adaptations","description":"One of our best novelists here collects plays and adaptations he wrote before turning to fiction. His 1994 take on Daniel Defoe's A Journal of the Plague Year is a powerful dramatic response to the AIDS epidemic. The one-man play Chesterfield to His Son, adapting that forbidding nobleman's famous Letters, is a hilariously antic--and painfully accurate--dissection of a father's love and hopes for his son. Dr. Knox and Mr. Banner examines same-sex desire in 19th-century London and the stories people tell themselves about what makes them who they are. More characters tell themselves more stories in five sparkling one-act plays set in locales ranging from the sidewalk of West 23rd Street to Seward, Alaska: The Old Agitator continues his lifelong mission, but with modified idealism; a new arrival in Alaska does what she must in order to stay; a grandmother exiled to a suburban lawn examines her life and is inspired to take action; a man explores the sexual temptation offered by a random encounter, and a casual philanderer finally meets a reckoning. One of the country's most interesting and accomplished novelists widens his vision with this collection.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e| \u003cb\u003eAuthor: \u003c\/b\u003eSteven Key Meyers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e| \u003cb\u003ePublisher: \u003c\/b\u003eSteven Key Meyers\/The Smash-And-Grab Press\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e| \u003cb\u003ePublication Date: \u003c\/b\u003eJun 25, 2019\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e| \u003cb\u003eNumber of Pages: \u003c\/b\u003e394 pages\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e| \u003cb\u003eLanguage: \u003c\/b\u003eEnglish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e| \u003cb\u003eBinding: \u003c\/b\u003ePaperback\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e| \u003cb\u003eISBN-10: \u003c\/b\u003e173304650X\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e| \u003cb\u003eISBN-13: \u003c\/b\u003e9781733046503\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Steven Key Meyers\/The Smash-And-Grab Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47070410441009,"sku":"9781733046503","price":19.34,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0798\/8215\/8385\/products\/9781733046503.jpg?v=1693905003","url":"https:\/\/www.recomparo.com\/products\/9781733046503","provider":"ReComparo.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
