Collected Stories by Donald Margulies
A play exploring the vexed emotional and legal question of a writer's right to create art from another person's life.
Ruth Steiner, an ageing author who never wrote about her youthful affair with real-life poet Delmore Schwartz, is confounded by one of her students, who, after publishing a much-praised short-story collection, follows up with a novel that clearly draws on her mentor's affair.
