John Is A Father (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780881458152)

"...Myatt excels at using small details to evoke larger truths....
JOHN IS A FATHER explore[s] fatherhood, mortality, the post-recession economy and the illusory nature of the American dream...
In impeccably spare dialogue rarely longer than single-sentence exchanges, fragments of John's troubled past come to light during his encounters on a trip to reconnect with what's left of his estranged family....
It's utterly compelling naturalism rendered with economy and grace....
Myatt's new play offers a quiet vision of hard-won hope amid adversity...."
