Life after Literature degrees means reliving the experience of, “hey I love [that thing] written by [that author], let’s read more!” “A Long Day’s Journey into Night” is the best play I have ever read, yes. I picked up this paperback collection from a resale store dollar bin. How “Anna Christie” won a Pulitzer Prize is beyond me. “The Emperor Jones” is aggressively racist. If I do enough mental gymnastics, I can maybe see how these three plays say something about humanity’s hubris and thirst for power, blah blah blah. Can you do it without punching down on women and Black folks? This is what happens when the ivory tower institutions of higher ed still worship old White men.
