海外发货类书籍 2-3月左右到国内,大部分英语书较快,两个月内基本能到货。法语书到货周期不稳定，快的两个月左右，慢的三个多月甚至更长，用于论文写作等对时间有严格要求的书友请慎重。

以下两个极小概率请书友注意，别因此耽误您的使用，更别伤了和气：
1、全新正版，非海淘旧书，虽每本书都是空运回国尽量保证品相完美，但有极小概率运输所致小瑕疵。因为国外换货经济和时间成本高，所以如遇小瑕疵，每本补偿5或10元（视单本价格而定），严重瑕疵可以退换货。具体到七星文库，函套有极小概率有小瑕疵，但书本身能保证完好。如函套有瑕疵，每本补偿10元。
2、出版社库存不断变化，有极小概率采购不到，而且可能等了很长时间才得到反馈。法语书可以很快核实是否有库存。

Adrienne Kennedy has been a force on the American stage since the premiere of her groundbreaking, Obie Award–winning Funnyhouse of a Negro in 1964. Her haunting and powerful plays, filled with unexpected juxtapositions and startling transfigurations, dramatize interior realities “in a dreamlike fashion, never taking a straight path from one event to another if a more beautiful route is available,” in the words of actor Natalie Portman. For the critic Hilton Als, Kennedy “is a kind of film scenarist . . . whose strongest work renders the stage more cinema-like, less intransigent, more open to different ways of moving.” This Library of America volume presents, for the first time, a collected edition of Adrienne Kennedy’s writing, spanning six decades and including five uncollected and ten previously unpublished works.

Kennedy’s early surrealistic one-acts imagine unsettling, often terrifying scenarios that confront fundamental questions of identity, history, and cultural power. In The Owl Answers, set on the New York City subway, the play’s biracial protagonist attempts to grasp who she really is while surrounded by the ghosts of prominent figures from European history. In A Lesson in Dead Language, a classroom of girls in bloodstained dresses receives Latin instruction from a human-sized white dog. One of Kennedy’s greatest plays, A Movie Star Has to Star in Black and White, depicts a woman’s quest for self-understanding through the distorted mirror of the mostly white casts of the black-and-white films she loved as a child.

Kennedy’s later plays include bold treatments of the autobiography of Charlie Chaplin (A Lancashire Lad) and of episodes from the life of Beethoven (She Talks to Beethoven), as well as the suite of dramatic works featuring her literary alter ego, the writer Suzanne Alexander, among them Ohio State Murders, which was staged on Broadway in 2022. Sleep Deprivation Chamber is a searing indictment of racially motivated police violence based on a real-life incident involving her son Adam P. Kennedy, who cowrote the play. Also gathered in this volume are Kennedy’s adaptations of Euripides’s Electra and Orestes, Flaubert’s Madame Bovary, and John Lennon’s nonsense books, all brilliantly reimagined.

Like her plays, Kennedy’s fiction and her memoir, People Who Led to My Plays, have a vividness and at times an almost hallucinatory intensity. Writings from Kennedy’s later years take the measure of her rich life, as in the essay “Almost Eighty,” in which she poignantly excavates the past through a scrapbook compiled by her mother. Taken together, the work gathered in Collected Plays & Other Writings is a celebration of Kennedy’s singular achievement on stage and page alike.
