4.0 out of 5 stars A very good comprehensive portrait of Tony Kushner
Actually I would rate this item a bit higher. Perhaps 4.5 stars? It's very well done, full of important information, detailed, and, the most important aspect, intelligent.

1.0 out of 5 stars Difficult but ultimately empty, September 14, 2010
I really struggled with this author's writing style - extremely long sentences made reading comprehension an end in itself rather than a means to communicate.

Some little commentary is laid out in the introduction and largely repeated in the following chapters. Not what I was looking for.
