Armed with curiosity and a desire to piece together the story of the worlds only seven-masted schooner; Tom Hall spent several years researching on both sides of the Atlantic; diving on the Lawson wreck and interviewing the relatives of those involved in the rescue efforts. The result of his work is the most complete account of the T. W. Lawsons story; ranging from her building and launch to her fated wreck off the Scilly Isles.

If you want to learn about the theater of the absurd; this is the way to do it. You will notice that the author is very defensive; constantly defending the right of the theater of the absurd to exist. This is because the book was originally written when it was still controversial; and it always will be to some people; but sixty some years after its advent; the plays are still being performed worldwide and their influence on todays theater continues. Thanks to two updates; Esslin was able to gain a better picture of the place of the theater of the absurd in the bigger picture of the history of drama. Without the end of chapter 8 and the entire chapter 9; the book would be very dated; but as it stands now; it will serve readers for a long; long time.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
