Some have already been staged at a small theater in Woodstock, but the new radio production is the first time they have been performed as a whole. Richard calls the plays 'a fragmented portrait of a generation' --his generation, the 'baby boom' children of the 1950s who came to adulthood in post-Vietnam America. All the characters are American, though not all the plays take place in the U S A. The drama spans the years 1976 to 1988 and the plays were written over the past eight years. Stylistically different--some are funny, some satirical, some moving--they focus on a disparate set of characters including a Vietnam pilot, former anti-war campaigners, teachers, politicians, and lawyers. Nelson sees the series as being 'like a volume of collected stories.'\"\u003cbr\u003e Radio Times\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \"A tapestry of American society.\"\u003cbr\u003e Sheridan Morley, The Sunday Telegraph\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \"Something of the spareness and the ability to set up slow-burning trains for thought which mark out Raymond Carver's short stories.\"\u003cbr\u003e Robert Hanks, The Independent\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 86\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.18 x 8.5 x 5.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e November 15, 1991\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47219432980729,"sku":"9780881450934","price":17.21,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2782\/3097\/files\/MDFuSEZHYU5ja1kzSkhsdGRnY21rZz09.webp?v=1768166185","url":"https:\/\/bookscloud.io\/products\/roots-in-water-paperback","provider":"BooksCloud Book Dropshipping","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
