The anthology shows several competing approaches to what drama could still do in the late twentieth century, from Duras and Sarraute’s linguistic and psychological experiments to Vinaver’s attention to labour and everyday social structures.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eEdited by Philippa Wehle, the collection includes Marguerite Duras, Nathalie Sarraute, Gildas Bourdet, Enzo Cormann, Michel Vinaver and Jean-Claude Grumberg.
