Summary: Insightful Narrative to Wilder's "Masterpiece"
Comment: This publication is a helpful tool to understanding Thornton Wilder's play "Our Town". Written during the Great Depression, "Our Town" tells the story of people in a small New England town at the end of the 19th century. Taking a look inside the minds and hearts of the "young ones" as well as the "oldtimers", gives the reader a good feeling of how simple, yet wonderful life in "the good old days" was. -- The play is very dated, full of references long lost in American vocabulary. "Barron's Book Notes" explains (or should I say TRANSLATES) such unfamiliar terms, along with customs and other traditions no longer known to us. This book is an excellent source of information about the play. Unfortunately I am not a big fan of Thornton Wilder's "Our Town". I find it boring and rather unsuited for today's theatres. Foolishly I agreed to play "Howie Newsome" the milk man in a local production years ago. Six weeks of my life I'll never get back! My advise to you: read "Barron's Book Notes" for research if you are studying "Our Town" (for an English grade), but if you are interested in the play itself, let me assure you that there are MANY, MANY better ones out there!
