Editorial Reviews

Review

"Materials that give this volume an advantage over any other recent studies include a lengthy interview with Shepard (conducted in May 2000), an essay by Roudane on the preproduction/publication script of The Late Henry Moss, and a brief note by Joseph Chaikin ("On Sam Shepard").... Highly recommended." Choice
