The Hot L Baltimore: A Play Tapa dura - 1973

USA: Hill and Wang, 1973. Hardcover 1st edition - from blurb on jacket flap: A thoroughly American play, conceived in the notion of the Last Frontier and brilliantly sustained by a powerful expression of nostalgia. The setting is the lobby of a derelict hotel marked for demolition, from whose marquee tje 'e' has, perhaps sympathetically, dropped off. Past people, pst time, past places are fondly recalled by the characters, residents about to be evicted not only from their shabby hotel but from a moment in history. This, Lanford Wilson's newest play, is an exquisite portrayal of sentimental, fey, but utterly honest characters living at the edge of dreams and recalling a receding utopia. Ex library, somewhat generally worn and well read, but still an acceptable reading copy of this New York Drama Critics Circle award winning play from 1972-73. First Edition. Hard Cover.
