American playwright and author known for Pulitzer finalist play, Whiting Award winner, YA novels, and TV writing.
引用
-
a playwright at home in the messiness of us. She writes rigorously about love and its great sacrifices, and we are pulled to her scenes and words because she will not compromise how complicated we truly are. Conceptually rich and perfectly paced, every particle of language—from a character's speech to a stage direction—contributes to the vivid construction of a world.
