SHEPARD, Sam (b. 1943). Buried Child. Seduced. Suicide in Bb. New York: Urizen Books, 1979. 8°. Original, cloth-backed boards; dust jacket
FIRST EDITION, signed on the title-page. Shepard’s Pulitzer Prize winning drama of a dysfunctional Middle American family—and the corruption of the American Dream—launched his reputation. It enjoyed several stagings, and, as Shepard notes here on the flyleaf, “This entire play was re-written & subsequently published by Vintage Press for the ’89 Steppenwolf production which was done on Broadway. S. Shepard 6/24/14 (Va.).” He has misremembered the year of that production, however, which was 1996, rather than “’89.” Gary Sinise directed the production, which starred Leo Burmester and James Gannon.
