<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>The 2011 Pulitzer Prize winner for best drama imagines the tangled back stories and racially charged real-estate negotiations surrounding the events of Lorraine Hansberry's classic play A Raisin in the Sun<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><i>Clybourne Park</i> spans two generations fifty years apart. In 1959, Russ and Bev are selling their desirable two-bedroom at a bargain price, unknowingly bringing the first black family into the neighborhood (borrowing a plot line from Lorraine Hansberry's <i>A Raisin in the Sun</i>) and creating ripples of discontent among the cozy white residents of Clybourne Park. In 2009, the same property is being bought by a young white couple, whose plan to raze the house and start again is met with equal disapproval by the black residents of the soon-to-be-gentrified area. Are the issues festering beneath the floorboards actually the same, fifty years on? Bruce Norris's excruciatingly funny and squirm-inducing satire explores the fault line between race and property. <p/><i>Clybourne Park</i> is the winner of the 2011 Pulitzer Prize for Drama, and the winner of the 2012 Tony Award for Best Play.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>"A spiky and damningly insightful new comedy." --<i>Ben Brantley, The New York Times</i> <p/>"Superb, elegantly written, and hilarious." --<i>John Lahr, The New Yorker</i> <p/>"Courageous...Norris's elegantly structured play nails marital tensions as much as it does racial disharmony in an evening of ebullient provocation." --<i>Lyn Gardner, The Guardian</i></p><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p><b>Bruce Norris</b> is a writer and an actor whose Pulitzer Prize- and Olivier Award-winning play <i>Clybourne Park</i> premiered at Playwrights Horizons in January 2010.
