As an actor, screenwriter, director, short story writer, and, most
significantly, a playwright, Sam Shepard has long been an important
figure on the American cultural landscape. A Body Across the Map
focuses on the character conflict central to Shepard's most
significant plays; that between fathers and sons. Beginning with
The Rock Garden and concluding with A Lie of the Mind, this
analysis shows how Shepard's worldview has evolved over a 20-year
span. A long-standing pessimist who saw Oedipal revenge as a
necessity, and genetic determination as inescapable, Shepard
ultimately disavows these dark worldviews in favor of one where
gentleness, spiritual generosity, cooperation, and the acceptance
of long-denied truths prevail over rage, self-interest, and
biological predestination.
