Review: The best and most essential Shepard collection - This collection features his finest and most mature work (Buried Child, Curse, True West) plus the best of his earlier plays (La Turista, The Tooth of Crime). They all showcase his great humor and startling use of language and imagery. Th more mature works deal, unflinchingly with american families. Tongues and Savage Love, which he did in collaboration with Joseph Chaiken, are wonderful, poetic meditations of existence and identity. If you are interested in Shepard as a playwright this is the finest collection of his best work. After this, I recommend seeking out the plays Fool for Love and A Lie of the Mind, for more of his "mature" work and then also Angel City as another prime example of the imaginative flights he took with his earlier work. In case you don't already know, Shepard is one of the most important American playwrights. Period.
Review: Gothic Plays at their best - I've yet to read all the stories here but the two I have read, Buried Child and Curse of the Starving Class, were well written and kept me enthralled as I devoured the stories flipping the pages faster and faster to find out what dark secrets and horrible truths were waiting to be revealed. The man has a gift for writing and keeping some themes that are a common thread throughout his stories, he may have daddy issues and be traumatized by his drunken and dysfunctional family but it makes for amazing literature. I would recommend this to those that love literature and those that enjoy a good Gothic experience.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Although I had heard of the great playwright Sam Shepard for years
*by A***. on September 14, 2017*

Although I had heard of the great playwright Sam Shepard for years, I never saw or read any of his plays. When he died a month or two ago, I read an article on his brilliance and was moved to read this book of seven of his plays. I have just finished reading "Buried Child," for which he won the Pulitzer Prize. It greatly surpasses any other play I have seen or read. I can hardly wait to read the remaining six plays. Do your mind a favor and get this book. I promise you won't regret it.
