I wrote this play as a compensation for being poor, more than half deaf, and growing up in Brooklyn with poor parents ... I envied my middle class contemporaries' privileges. I felt powerless and inferior to everyone. I had childishly daydreamed of having power over everyone, ruthlessly tyrannical, so I put myself in Ubu Roi's Booboo's shoes, and got imaginary literary revenge on the world.\" \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Marvin Cohen\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1952386098\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781952386091\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Sagging Meniscus Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/15\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 96\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.30lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.27h x 5.83w x 0.23d","brand":"Marvin Cohen","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48800696893695,"sku":"9781952386091","price":16.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/booboo-roi-marvin-cohen-9781952386091","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
