Winter Passages is Robert Brustein's nineteenth book of criticism.
It includes his considerations of culture and politics over the
past four years of American life, demonstrating how the
imperfections of the government and economy have plunged the
country into an artistic winter in which there is a troubling lack
of support for, and understanding of, America's arts and artists.
In a section on "Cultural Passages," Brustein includes chapters on
compromised theatre institutions, auteur productions, the American
musical, generational idiosyncrasies, and China's growing theatre
culture, which contrasts with American culture. The second section,
"Dramatic Passages," addresses twenty-seven great playwrights from
Aeschylus to August Wilson and demonstrates how they have
influenced our sense of history and human character. In "Laudatory
Passages," Brustein discusses great American artists, living and
dead, who continue to influence our sense of self as a nation and
as individuals. Brustein concludes that we will be judged, like all
cultures, by the quality of our arts and artists, and by our
willingness to allow their insights to influence our behavior.
