Angels in America: A Gay Fantasia on National Themes (20th Anniversary Edition)
NYbooks avatar reviewed on + 97 more book reviews


Touches on the AIDS epidemic of the 1980s. The characters seem real, the dialogue is incredible, fast, snappy and even heartbreaking.

The play also tackles politics, racism, wealth and beliefs.

The Pulitzer is well earned.
