Author Description

One of the most important young voices in American drama, Len Jenkin is well known in the New York theater scene. But although his plays have been performed at the Mark Taper Forum in Los Angeles, the Guthrie Theater in Minneapolis, and the Magic Theater in San Francisco, it is only recently he has begun receiving the national attention he deserves. This new collection of plays is, in part, an attempt to promote that national recognition. American Notes is anthologized in this new volume along with Jenkin's Dark Ride, My Uncle Sam, Limbo Tales, and Poor Folk's Pleasure.
