Drama. Nersesian's cult status has grown from the success of his novels, and here for the first time his equal skills as a playwright are revealed to a hungry public.

"Nersesian is this generation's Mark Twain and the East River is his Mississippi"--Jennifer Belle. "Award-winning playwright Arthur Nersesian has woven an effective dramatic form through four plays, each quite funny in its own way. Each yields very powerful human results while subtly investigating the major social issues of our time"--Evangelina Borges. Be sure to check out Nersesian's other titles, including THE FUCK-UP, MANHATTAN LOVER BOY, and SUICIDE CASANOVA, all available from SPD.
