Roudane discusses the major plays and the important themes in Albee's work. Among the better known works discussed are "The Zoo Story," "Who's Afraid of Virginia Wolf?," "The American Dream," "A Delicate Balance," and "Tiny Alice." Roudane has also included several recent works such as "All Over," "Seascape," "The Lady From Dubuque," and the new play, "The Man Who Had Three Arms." Roudane's stated purpose is to trace Albee's artistic vision, which is essentially an affirmative existentialist world view. ISBN 0-87249-502-7: $19.95.
