Father Comes Home From the Wars (Parts 1, 2 & 3)

One of the most singular plays I've ever read. I love Guirgis, but I do not understand how this did not win the Pulitzer. I love having a hard copy for plays like this, and the sleek and thematic dual front and back covers are a gorgeous addition to this unmatched play. It will live on as a classic long after Parks' death. Do yourself a favor and buy it.

Required text for a literature of the civil war course. Very insightful and quick read!

Suzan-Lori Parks brings out not only the difficulty of the epoch but the struggle with self-value, confidence, trust, identity, unity, and the sense of nation of enslaved African Americans at the time of the civil war.

A gift I was able to see performed in Chicago in 2018. On the stage there's more humor than on the page, where the power comes from its limitless heart.

I had seen the first part at the Public Theater in NYC. Being able to read this magnificent play brought the experience back to me. Suzan-Lori Parks has written a masterpiece, soon to be regarded as a modern-day classic, I am certain! EVERYONE should read this play.

I read this to prepare for an audition and I'm glad that I did. This play draws many parallels to present-day and what's going on in the world. It is a good and quick read.

Wonderful read! It has roots even in our society today. Takes some analytical reading to actually understand the story more fully

She's a genius.
