Eric Bogosian
In conversation with novelist Jerry Stahl
The award-winning writer, playwright, and actor offers a powerful commentary on the complicated dynamic between creativity and commerce in the artistic world, exposing downtown New York in the early '70s, seen through the eyes of a young, ambitious writer and his older incarnate, jaded by success.
Eric Bogosian is the author of the novels Wasted Beauty and Mall. He is the author of several award-winning plays, including Talk Radio, suburbia Griller, and Drinking in America. He is the recipient of three Obie awards and a Drama Desk award and two of his plays have been adapted for film. He lives in New York City.
