SUMMARY:Eugene O'Neill with Michael Tubridy
DESCRIPTION:Local author Michael Tubridy presents Champion of the 
 Misbegotten: The Irish Influence in the Life and Plays of Eugene 
 O’Neill.\n\nO’Neill remains the only American playwright to win the 
 Nobel Prize in Literature and the only one to win the Pulitzer Prize for 
 Drama four times. Beginning in the 1920s\, in masterpieces such as The 
 Iceman Cometh and Long Day’s Journey Into Night\, he dealt with subjects 
 that hardly anybody dared to touch previously on Broadway\, including race 
 relations\, Freudianism\, labor strife\, and drug and alcohol addiction\, 
 forging a path that subsequent playwrights would follow in pushing against 
 the boundaries of commercial theater.\n\nTubridy will explain how Irish or 
 Irish-American influences figure in O’Neill’s family\; in friends who 
 inspired many of his characters\; in the Roman Catholicism he argued 
 endlessly with\; and in the anguished Irish-American adaptation to this 
 country.\n\n\nA lifelong resident of Englewood\, Tubridy frequently writes 
 about Irish and Irish American history in his blog “A Boat Against the 
 Current.” He has also lectured in Bergen County on such literary and 
 entertainment figures as Grace Kelly\, film directors John Ford and John 
 Huston\, F. Scott Fitzgerald\, John O’Hara\, and Lady Augusta Gregory of 
 the Irish Literary Renaissance.\n\nCopies of his biography (co-written with 
 Rob Polner) of the Irish-born New York attorney\, politician\, and activist 
 Paul O’Dwyer\, “An Irish Passion for Justice\,” will also be 
 available for signing and purchase.
