Seller's Description:
Very good in fair dust jacket. very good in a fair jacket, jacket has shelfwear and a dampstain to the back which didn't manage to affect the book, now protected in brodart, 2nd printing. 244 p. 21 cm. One would think a book by a theater critic would be prescriptive. That he'd have the steps to write a play written out like steps A-B-C. But no! In this 1955 gem of a book (complete with picture of the critic on the back in front of a typewriter and smoking a cigarette), he reveres the organic aspects of the artistic process, eschewing formula, theses, well-made play and all kinds of George Bernard Shaw nonsense. He's not fond of Chekhov and Ibsen, but no matter. He packs in some thought-provoking ideas and concepts. My fave of his: The critic dissects and the artist unifies. He believes that people are either born critics who tear things to pieces or with artistic minds that look at the world to see how things can be brought together. I disagree with him slightly on this, as I believe each of us has a tendency to one or the other. But whereas he believes you are either one or the other, I think each individual's point of view shifts and can be shifted. In fact, our entire world is in critic mode and we need to see how we can start building, making, unifying more. A great book for writers of all kinds, but also artists of any kind, be they musical or visual, written or spoken word,
