Generally agreed to be one of the most significant forces in the history of the American theater, O’Neill is a three-time winner of the Pulitzer Prize. All God’s Chillun Got Wings deals with miscegenation and pointedly flouts the convention of caricaturing blacks in literature. O’Neill’s play helped to end the practice. Welded, a three-act play features The Capes.
Ships promptly in corrugated mailer with book wrapped in both craft paper and multiple layers of bubble wrap.
