of English playwright Tom Stoppard. Biographical information includes
Stoppard's early years in Eastern Europe, his time in India, and his

Stoppard's theatrical career from early plays like Jumpers to the
genesis and development of his newest play, The Coast of Utopia.
Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com) Synopsis:Tom Stoppard has written some of the most challenging and fanciful plays of the 20th century. His work, from the early Jumpers to the film Shakespeare in Love to the current play The Invention of Love, has in effect changed the landscape of drama. Witty, erudite, passionate, abstract, clever (some would say too clever by half), his works are like no one else's. Who is Tom Stoppard — the Czech-born son of Jews who became the singularly English man of letters? In this vibrant, critical portrait, Ira Nadel weaves life and works into a fascinating chronicle of Stoppard's world on English and American stages. Peopled with such characters as Diana Rigg, John Wood, and Billy Crudup, the book untangles Stoppard's genius against the backdrop of Broadway and London's West End.
