A book about the role America plays in the French imagination, as it translates to the French stage. Informed by a rich variety of Western cultural scholarship, Essif examines two dozen post-1960 works representing some of the most innovative dramaturgy of the last half century, including works by Gatti, Obaldia, Cixous, Koltes, and Vinaver.
Les Essif is the author of Empty Figure on an Empty Stage, The French Play, and numerous essays on French theatre and theories of drama and performance. He is currently a professor of French Studies at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, USA.
