Book Reviews of Sam Shepard's "Buried Child": A Study Guide from Gale's "Drama for Students" (Volume 06, Chapter 4)

Book Review: Buried Child Un-buried!
Summary: 5 Stars

This .pdf pamphlet is essential to understanding Shephard's 1979 Pulitzer award winning play. But DON'T read this until AFTER you have seen or read this tough play. I had thought that most of the characters might have been ghosts, none real except for Shelly and Vince - a couple stepping back in time into a fractured family's home. This short book completely explains each character and symbol. Just wonderful. BHH.
