Joe Turner's Come and Gone de August Wilson

Joe Turner's Come and Gone

Autor August Wilson
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 30 oct 1988
From the Pulitzer Prize winning playwright of "Fences" and "The Piano Lesson"
The glow accompanying August Wilson s place in contemporary American theater is fixed. Toni Morrison
When Harold Loomis arrives at a black Pittsburgh boardinghouse after seven years' impressed labor on Joe Turner's chain gang, he is a free man in body. But the scars of his enslavement and a sense of inescapable alienation oppress his spirit still, and the seemingly hospitable rooming house seethes with tension and distrust in the presence of this tormented stranger. Loomis is looking for the wife he left behind, believing that she can help him reclaim his old identity. But through his encounters with the other residents he begins to realize that what he really seeks is his rightful place in a new world and it will take more than the skill of the local "People Finder" to discover it.
This jazz-influenced drama is a moving narrative of African-American experience in the 20th century."

Recenzii

"As rich in religious feeling as in historical detail, Joe Turner is at once a teeming canvas of black America and a spiritual allegory with a Melville whammy . . . Joe Turner is flecked with hypnotic storytelling soliloquies as grittily redolent of itinerant America as those in The Iceman Cometh."
--Frank Rich, The New York Times"Has the haunting power of a ghost story . . . bold theatricality . . . electrifying."
--The Washington Post
"August Wilson's best play!"
--William A. Henry III, Time magazine
"Joe Turner's Come and Gone
is one of the best American plays of the decade . . . he takes us through joy and disaster, hatred and love; he pulls few punches and in the end he has contributed not only to the stature of American playwrighting but to our understanding of our society. A rich, rewarding play, that rare work what entertains while it teaches."
--The Providence Journal
