"The Expressive Art of Tarell Alvin McCraney is the first book to dedicate rigorous critical attention to the work of one of the most significant writers and theater-makers of the twenty-first century, Tarell Alvin McCraney. Featuring essays, interviews, and commentaries by scholars and artists who span generations, geographies, and areas of interests, and who bring fresh and diverse perspectives to their observations and analyses, the volume examines the vastness of McCraney's theatrical imagination, the singularity of his writerly voice, the incisiveness of his cultural insights and critiques, the creativity he displays through stylistic and formal qualities, and the unorthodoxies of his personal and professional trajectories. Contributors consider McCraney's innovations as a playwright, adapter, director, performer, teacher, and collaborator. In so doing, they expand and enrich the conversations on his much-celebrated and deeply resonant body of work, which includes the plays Choir Boy, Head of Passes, The Breach, Wig Out!, and the critically acclaimed trilogy The Brother/Sister Plays: In the Red and Brown Water, The Brothers Size, and, Marcus; Or the Secret of Sweet, as well as the Oscar Award-winning film Moonlight"--.
