I have not yet read Lost in Yonkers due to my self-important dismisal of Simon's work. Your article has so enlightened and informed and correctly analyzed, that I am blushing with shame and a promise to myself to re-read the plays I do know and to quickly get my hands on the trilogy. (I have only read one.) Thank you.
