Brilliant and Insightful
Margaret Brenman-Gibson was the perfect person to write this amazing book. She knew Odets personally, as her husband (the playwright William Gibson) was a student of his at The Actors Studio. She was a therapist married to an artist, so she brings an amazingly insightful perspective to Odets complex life. Odets is such a fascinating figure, and this book really lets you...

i love the playwright and i am glad i bought this book. In that i am an amatuer writer with a BFA in Fine Art my learnings cause me to want 'strong idea' of whom i am educating myself too. Reading through pages of this bio, i keep seeking 'floor' of Odets. I get his sojourn, and thats it.

Brilliant and Insightful,
By Mark Mezadourian (Los Angeles, California) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Clifford Odets - American Playwright: The Years from 1906-1940 (Applause Books) (Paperback)
Margaret Brenman-Gibson was the perfect person to write this amazing book. She knew Odets personally, as her husband (the playwright William Gibson) was a student of his at The Actors Studio. She was a therapist married to an artist, so she brings an amazingly insightful perspective to Odets complex life. Odets is such a fascinating figure, and this book really lets you get to know him, as he is presented lovingly, critically and most importantly, with humor.This is, hands down, the best biography I've ever read (out of hundreds). I am sorry that Mrs. Brenman-Gibson passed away before she could write the 2nd book, from 1941 on.
