Postscript: Edward Albee, 1928-2016

by Hilton Als

Writing that gets under your skin, in your bones, will play in your head and memory like nothing else. While painting, photography, and movies can come at you with a very particular force"an in-your-face power that, when done correctly, unearths hitherto unexamined or marginalized feelings"dramatic literature lives in your ear, and, when it's truly great, shapes how you shape words yourself.
