Your definition of “Modern” in terms of theater is funny, damming, and accurate if you’re reaching back 20 years ago to find things you like. Nice article and I agree with your Dimes review because I went into it prepared to roll my eyes but he’s striking a chord
Enjoyable reviews, but I'm a little mystified by your comment about "Ravelstein" being "quarantined." As I recall, when it was new there was some controversy about Bellow supposedly "outing" Bloom, but that was about all. My copy is a Penguin Modern Classics edition, pretty much the stamp of highbrow approval.
