Buchanan Dying - A Play (Paperback)

In a play meant to be read, Buchanan's political and private lives are represented as aspects of his spiritual life, whose crowning, condensing act is the act of dying. This volume includes a foreword by the author discussing two productions of the play and the historical context in which it was written, and a wide-ranging afterword, also by Updike, which rounds out the dramatic portrait of one of America's lesser known, and least appreciated, leaders.
