The Skin of Our Teeth, by Thornton Wilder (1942)

Premise: In this classic play, humanity is portrayed in microcosm as a conventional, suburban American family.

Review: I‘m often surprised by just how early the pastiche, sense of play, and erasure of the fourth wall that I associate with postmodern literature appears in the canon. Cont.

Mattsbookaday This play, written during the Second World War, is exceedingly weird and surrealist, in a way that is simultaneously brilliant and a bit off-putting. It‘s sad and cynical, but also silly and hopeful. It‘s certainly not for everyone, but it‘s a deserved classic.
