This "acerbic yet compassionate" meditation on humanity by the acclaimed actor and playwright offers "curiosity, thoughtfulness, sharp logic, deep emotion" (Publishers Weekly, starred review).
Beloved actor and Obie Award–winning playwright Wallace Shawn has been an incisive commentator on civilization and its discontents for decades. Now, having recently passed the age of seventy and watched Donald Trump claim the presidency, he offers a late-stage critique of his species, which he sees as being divided between the lucky and the unlucky.
In Night Thoughts, Shawn takes the lucky—himself included—to task for their complacency while offering fascinating reflections on "civilization, morality, Beethoven, 11th-century Japanese court poetry, and his hopes for a better world, among other topics" (Publishers Weekly, starred review).
