Second Year English Major:  I really enjoyed “Streetcar Named Desire”.

Me: Cool.  If you liked Streetcar, you might also enjoy reading plays by Eugene O’Neill.  He wrote “The Iceman Cometh” and “Long Day’s Journey into Night”, which you may have heard of.  And if you’re studying modern plays, you might want to check out Pinter and Samuel Beckett too.  Y’know, interesting thing about Beckett - he was Joyce’s secretary for a while.

SYEM:  Who?

Me:  James Joyce.  Ulysses?

SYEM: What’s that?
