I'll read or watch anything by Albee and this play may be always be the pinnacle of his achievements. Belongs on the list with Tennessee Williams, Eugene O'Neill, Beckett, etc.
My appreciation for this play only increases with age. It used to sound truly "absurd"; saw in on stage last year and now it sounds like conversations I have with my loved ones.
Chekhov's crowning achievement - living, breathing, lovable people muddling their way through as their lives and beliefs are being plowed through by forces larger than all of us.
The closest thing to Baldwin that these times have to offer. A brilliant, personal, cut to the bone, exquisitely conscious memoir of the racial moment of our culture.
I think this was (one of) the original anti-hero stories. It was my first Dostoevsky, and one I appreciated more than enjoyed, but has motivated me to read his classics soon.
