Long Day's Journey into Night
"By common consent, Long Day's Journey into Night is Eugene O'Neill's masterpiece. .  . . The helplessness of family love to sustain, let alone heal, the wounds of marriage, of parenthood, and of  sonship, have never been so remorselessly and so pathetically portrayed, and with a force of gesture too  painful ever to be forgotten by any of us."—Harold Bloom, from the foreword "Only an artist of O'Neill's extraordinary skill and perception can draw the curtain on the secrets of his  own family to make you peer into your own. Long Day's Journey into Night is the most remarkable  achievement of one of the world's greatest dramatists."—Jose Quintero   "The play is an invaluable key to its author's creative evolution. It serves as the Rosetta Stone of O'Neill's  life and art."—Barbara Gelb   "The definitive edition of a 'play of old sorrow, written in tears and blood,' as O'Neill described it in  dedicating it to his wife, Carlotta."—Boston Globe
