Constance Congdon's brilliant Off-Broadway script wryly deflects the story of a man with Alzheimer's disease into a travel guide to Middle America conducted by aliens.\" -William Henry III, Time \"Constance Congdon's TALES OF THE LOST FORMICANS is a treat in so many ways - starting with its deliciously wry title ... you shouldn't miss it: Congdon is a new voice, and her innumerable small triumphs are achieved with a freshness of spirit, with a humor and charm so distinctively individual, that one just wants to hear more and more from her ... Congdon's aliens are a fluidly shifting metaphor for her own complex relation to the subject of her drama, a lower-middle suburban family coping with three generations' worth of stress simultaneously ...\" -Michael Feingold, Village Voice \"... a savagely uncompromising play of searching insights, biting wit and all too recognizable home truths ... There are laughs, wit and humor, but this is a chillingly painful play. Congdon is a terrific playwright with sure command of language and her subject ...\" -Polly Warfield, Drama-Logue \"Congdon's writing creates dialogue that crackles with wit, imagination and incisive passion ...\" -A J Esta, Drama-Logue\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 88\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 June 01, 1990\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47219964412153,"sku":"9780881450910","price":18.63,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2782\/3097\/files\/ncUgTedcCV9780881450910.webp?v=1768170653","url":"https:\/\/bookscloud.io\/products\/tales-of-the-lost-formicans-paperback","provider":"BooksCloud Book Dropshipping","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
