Heading for the Last Roundup from the May 9, 1985 issue
Following Robert Mazzocco’s essay on Sam Shepard [NYR, May 9] various publishers have brought to our attention the many books in which his work is available.
Bantam Books publishes the following: Sam Shepard: Seven Plays (including Buried Child, Curse of the Starving Class, The Tooth of Crime, La Turista, Tongues, Savage/Love, and True West) with an introduction by Richard Gilman, 336 pp., $6.95 (paper) and Fool for Love and Other Plays (including Angel City, Geography of a Horse Dreamer, Action, Cowboy Mouth, Melodrama Play, Seduced, and Suicide in B) with an introduction by Ross Wetzsteon, 307 pp., $6.95 (paper). A third volume of Shepard’s plays will be published by Bantam later this year. Fool for Love is also published separately in paperback by City Lights.
