The Skin of Our Teeth: Play in Three Acts | Thornton Wilder

pick

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.

After cleaning pretty much the whole house, I deserve coffee + some reading time.
But before reading, here's a short review for tagged and pictured book: I still very much enjoy this series. The 3rd book is quite entertaining, I like keeping on learning about art, about Japanese art school systems. Plus, love to see the progress of the main character. It's really great to see the main character's journey and resilience.
