Have we discussed this? Looks like James Lapine is releasing a new book:

Give me claws and a hunch, just away from this bunch.

I believe it's an oral history, like the Angels in America. He was interviewing people associated with the original production. But I suppose an oral history written by one of the creators would just be a memoir.

Thank you for bringing this to our attention. I've already pre-ordered the hardcover book.

The wait for April 2021 is going to feel like forever!

There was an article here yesterday or the day before

Thanks for the link, though!

The most deserving musical winner of the Pulitzer!

From the standpoint of the quality of the work, absolutely! I would say, though, that it has a rather weak connection to “American life” - a stated preference for the award - compared to How To Succeed, Rent, Hamilton, and most of the others. But that is indeed a preference, not a requirement.
