 HE
HURT BUSINESS: OLIVER MAYER'S EARLY WORKS [+] PLUS, edited
by William A. Nericcio,
contains the full, edited, updated scripts from Oliver Mayer's
plays YOUNG VALIANT,
BLADE TO
THE HEAT and JOY OF THE DESOLATE; it also includes interviews with
Mayer,
critical analyses, photographs, ephemera, and other textual
surprises. Mayer,
an
Associate Professor
at USC's School of Theatre did his undergraduate work at Worcester
College,
Oxford and Cornell University, where he graduated--his
MFA was
completed
at Columbia University. Mayer,
whose literary papers are archived at the
Stanford University Libraries, was voted one of the nation's "100
Coolest"
people by BUZZ Magazine in the late 90s, and, having survived this
brush
with fame and fortune,
his work continues to grow and evolve positioning
him as one of the more singular post-movimiento
Chicano voices in the American
Arts scene. Hyperbole Books, an imprint of SDSU Press, is thrilled to
showcase his early works in this handsome illustrated edition.
