Some have already been staged at a small theater in Woodstock, but the new radio production is the first time they have been performed as a whole. Richard calls the plays 'a fragmented portrait of a generation' --his generation, the 'baby boom' children of the 1950s who came to adulthood in post-Vietnam America. All the characters are American, though not all the plays take place in the U S A. The drama spans the years 1976 to 1988 and the plays were written over the past eight years. Stylistically different--some are funny, some satirical, some moving--they focus on a disparate set of characters including a Vietnam pilot, former anti-war campaigners, teachers, politicians, and lawyers. Nelson sees the series as being 'like a volume of collected stories.'\"\u003cbr\u003e Radio Times\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \"A tapestry of American society.\"\u003cbr\u003e Sheridan Morley, The Sunday Telegraph\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \"Something of the spareness and the ability to set up slow-burning trains for thought which mark out Raymond Carver's short stories.\"\u003cbr\u003e Robert Hanks, The Independent\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Richard Nelson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Broadway Play Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/15\/1991\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 86\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.24lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.18d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780881450934\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThis title is not returnable\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Broadway Play Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":40711633698931,"sku":"9.78E+12","price":15.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/products\/img_8cdcb1e0-de07-4bc9-be8d-8d531accd4e3.jpg?v=1676560299","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/en-de\/products\/roots-in-water-9780881450934","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
