      With his most recent literary work The Pulitzer Prize Plays - The First Fifty Years, 1917-1967, A Dramatic Reflection of American Life, Firestone....
      "....delivers one of the most comprehensive compendiums of essays on these vital works. Firestone's understanding of each play's substance is rich and impressive. His vast and ambitious examination takes into account many different elements -- characters, plots and symbolism, as well as the lives and psychology of the playwrights, the historical context in which the plays emerged, and their relevance on sociological, political, familial, psychological and spiritual levels."
