Untangles the life of America's Renaissance man.
Sam Shepard: A Life could be a great book for fans of the late Sam Shepard who want to know more about his life and work. The author, John J. Winters, provides a comprehensive and compelling account of Shepard's life, including backstage insights on one of his most frequently revived works, True West. Winters portrays Shepard as a magnetic, enigmatic, and multitalented artist drawing on a deep well of loneliness and self-questioning, keen attunement to the zeitgeist, and penetrating insight into human nature.
