The Eclipse: A middle aged professor lives with her ailing mother. The old lady, once a brilliant teacher, moves in and out of reality, has a fantasy Latin lover, and makes her daughter's life miserable. One night she whirls in a torrid dance with her lover while her daughter sleeps; death has released both from suffering. This haunting play by one of America's foremost authors was commissioned by Actors Theatre of Louisville for the Humana Festival and was subsequently produced Off Broadway. Tone Clusters: Frank and Emily are a nice couple with a house in a nice neighborhood. Why are they under so much strain? They are interviewed by an unseen interrogator and their story emerges: the body of a 14 year old girl was found in their basement and their son is charged with the murder. Do they share in the guilt? Could we find ourselves in their situation?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Joyce Carol Oates\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0573622329\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780573622328\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Samuel French, Inc.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/13\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 106\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.25lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.00w x 0.22d","brand":"Joyce Carol Oates","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44127034966271,"sku":"9780573622328","price":15.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_6fd4228a-f8e4-4f14-a30d-1211ed3b6521.jpg?v=1687451507","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/in-darkest-america-joyce-carol-oates-9780573622328","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
