Suzan-Lori Parks confirmed herself as one of the most exciting and
successful playwrights of her generation when her work
Topdog/Underdog was awarded the 2002 Pulitzer Prize, making her the
only African American woman to win the award. Despite the cultural
weight of this achievement, Parks remains difficult both to
pigeonhole and to summarize. This volume seeks to provide a context
for her work, with essays from major and emerging scholars
addressing the importance of factors such as gender, ethnicity,
language and history in plays from her first major work,
Imperceptible Mutabilities of the Third Kingdom to the 365 Days /
365 Plays project. Suzan-Lori Parks: A Casebook represents the
first major study of this unique voice in contemporary drama.
