Disgraced by Ayad Akhtar
Winner of the Pulitzer Prize for Drama From the author of Homeland Elegies, a sparkling and combustible play (Bloomberg) about identity in America after September 11. Everyone has been told that politics and religion are two subjects that should be off-limits at social gatherings. But watching these characters rip into these forbidden topics, there's no arguing that they make for ear-tickling good theater. --New York TimesAyad Akhtar is a playwright, novelist, the winner of the Pulitzer Prize for Drama, and an Award in Literature from the American Academy of Arts and Letters.
