Offers a collection of interviews with the noted American playwright, reprinted from newspapers and magazines and originally published between 1920 and 1948
I have read the following O'Neill quotation over and over, without ever knowing where it came from: "The one thing that explains more than anything about me is the fact that I'm Irish. And strangely enough, it is something that all the writers who have attempted to explain me and my work have overlooked." This book revealed its source, which is a 1946 interview.
I felt like I knew O'Neill well after reading this book not least because he seems to have spoken very forcefully and very directly with journalists, some of whom could not hide their disapproval of his progressive politics at times
