Simon Gray Unbound
The work of English playwright Simon Gray (1936-2008) has always resisted ideological and stylistic labels. His artistic independence has also had an unwelcome side effect: It cost him the critical attention garnered by his peers. This book, the first monograph on Gray, examines his oeuvre from the early plays, which hack away at the formalism and humanism of traditional English satire, to the later ones, in which he explores English professionals and their problems connecting with each other. If Gray remains the least known major English dramatist of his day, he's also one of the boldest and best.
Coda
'Coda' is Simon Gray's powerful account of the year in which he struggles to come to terms with terminal lung cancer. From heartbreaking reflections on his own mortality to outrageous asides Gray's self-proclaimed 'last written words on the subject of myself' records his extraordinary emotional journey.
