Jitney is one of my favorite plays. I like the way he moves from different times of day, and how he can get you to sense the lives of the characters outside the stage. When I read it I can see the city outside the stage, which is just so skilled on his part.
I'm also about to start a book called Kaufman & Co., which has plays George Kaufman wrote with Edna Ferber, Moss Hart, Ring Lardner, and Morrie Ryskind.
It has a couple of musicals, though, which I'll skip. I don't really like reading musicals. I'm planning to start with June Moon because he wrote it with Ring Lardner, and Lardner's book "You Know Me Al" is a personal favorite of mine.
