"In Beauty's Daughter tough-talking Diane yearns to free herself from the soul-deadening netherworld of her ghetto neighborhood. In Monster, Theresa imagines a life among her idols in the rock-'n'-roll poetry bohemia of Manhattan's Lower East Side and away from her home in East Harlem. In The Gimmick, young Alexis finds refuge from the brutal reality of the streets among the library bookshelves, where she dreams of becoming an American writer in Paris like James Baldwin.
Charged with fearless wisdom, these three searing, electrifying plays transform rage-filled ghetto experience into a triumph of rhapsodic language."--BOOK JACKET.
