Horton Foote's America: A Critical Analysis of His Plays (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781626527638)

Marian Burkhart offers here an engaging discussion of the work of revered playwright Horton Foote, winner of a Pulitzer Prize and two Academy Awards. Hallie Foote, the playwright's daughter, has written a foreword. A tribute to Foote, Burkhart's book leads the reader into a body of work that continues to win acclaim and grow in popularity for its transcendent and timeless messages. As Burkhart explains, "All of us are the 'ordinary' people who are at home as they live their 'ordinary' lives in the town Foote built out of his inspired understanding of what life means. One has no need to be from East Texas or to go there, for the town exists fully only in the theater, and it houses all of us. That's why this book is called Horton Foote's America."
