‘Philip Roth’ Has Overshadowed Philip Roth

Jan 04, 2024 |

By Adam Langer

| The Atlantic

In “Borges and I,” a classic page-long story by Jorge Luis Borges, the Argentine writer presents the reader with a conundrum: How are we to distinguish between Borges, the living, breathing human being, and the affected and somewhat dandyish persona his writings have helped create? Although the two do share certain tastes and characteristics, it’s “the other one” who has a “perverse custom of falsifying and magnifying things,” Borges writes.

By Adam Langer

The role of Anne Frank was originated on Broadway by Susan Strasberg. When Strasberg left the cast, the Israeli actress Dina Doron took over. On the national tour and the " bus and truck tour," Abigail Kellogg and Pauline Hahn played Anne. But when the Hollywood director George Stevens began the process of casting the movie adaptation of The Diary of Anne Frank, he had another actress in mind - Audrey Hepburn.

By 1957, The Diary of Anne Frank had become an international phenomenon. The Tony Awards had named it best play in 1956. So had the New York Drama Critics' Circle and the National Drama Critics' Poll. It won the Pulitzer Prize for drama. The show had run for 90 weeks on Broadway and, according to press rep Arthur Brilant, "virtually every civilized country on the face of the globe" had produced it, including 90 cities in Germany alone. Plans for the Hollywood movie adaptation were well underway.

How the premiere of 'The Diary of Anne Frank' was different from any other Broadway opening

Jan 30, 2023 |

By Adam Langer

| Forward

The Diary of Anne Frank' s premiere at the Cort Theatre in autumn of 1955 was a typical Broadway opening. Until it wasn't. The play had just completed an out-of-town tryout at the Walnut Street Theatre in Philadelphia, and the reviews had been good. "It was a big deal; it went very well," Eva Rubinstein, who played the role of Margot Frank, told me of the Philadelphia run. "They made some minor changes, but not a lot, and the same cast came to New York." Even so, the cast was nervous.

What David Crosby taught me when he kicked me out of his hotel room

The call came from the publicist the day before David Crosby was coming in town. It was 1989 and Crosby was on a tour, promoting his new album - did I want to interview him? I was just out of college and I was freelancing a lot. I wasn't what you might call a music journalist and I wasn't a major Crosby fan, but I liked CSNY's performance in Woodstock, I owned a couple of CSNY albums and I was a fan of some Buffalo Springfield songs, and I certainly respected Crosby as a singer.

The Novels We Wrote When We Were 17: Adam Langer on High School Rumors and Storytelling

Aug 04, 2022 |

By Adam Langer

| Literary Hub

We’d go after dark. That way, maybe if someone looked out, they’d see the car but not who was inside it. Sometimes, we’d bring a portable tape recorder, hide it in the pocket of our jeans, so after we left, we could play back the tape to prove to ourselves that it had really happened. That we weren’t just making it up. Back then, we all were novelists in a sense. Storytellers anyway. We had to be—too much was left to the imagination; too many questions we couldn’t answer.

In ‘Cyclorama,’ Former Classmates Confront an Extra Problematic Drama Teacher

CYCLORAMA By Adam Langer 338 pages. Bloomsbury. $27. As the old saying goes, comedy equals tragedy plus time. Adam Langer’s new novel, “Cyclorama,” significantly complicates that equation. Superimposed on a high school’s theatrical production of “The Diary of Anne Frank,” a somewhat saccharine adaptation of the best-selling book that appeared on Broadway and won a Pulitzer, the novel is structured, like the play, in two acts.

The composer Richard Strauss has a complicated legacy. Beginning in 1933, Strauss served as the President of the Reichsmusikkammer, the Nazi Reich’s Chamber of Music, a damning collaboration with the regime. But in 2014, prompted by celebrations of Strauss’s 150th birthday, many music scholars took to editorial pages, to reconsider the extent of the artist’s complicity. In rethinking his role, the occasion of Strauss’s forced retirement from the Reichsmusikkammer in 1935 requires special attention.
