Wendy And The Lost Boys : The Uncommon Life Of Wendy Wasserstein
by Julie Salamon

Wendy Wasserstein is the first woman playwright to have won a Tony Award. She also won the Pulitzer Prize. Though I never read anything that she wrote, I knew of her work. I was hoping that this biography about her would open her up to me. Unfortunately it did not fulfill my expectations. I lasted only seventy-seven pages. The writing is dry and plodding and it seemed as if the author just lifted everything from Wasserstein's writings. I was bored to say the least.
Not recommended.
