About the book: 1963 / "The plays of Arnold Wesker, unlike many others now filling the stages of the world, are devoid of hysterical nervousness, psychosis, and eroticism. Wesker talks about normal people in natural, colorful language. There is no cutesy pose, no acrobatic feat. And at the same time, the artist’s eye, his own understanding of the phenomena of life, and his individual style of painting remain.” (Viktor Rozov) “Roots” / Roots - the second part of Wesker’s trilogy (the plays Chicken Soup with Barley / “Pearl Barley Soup with Chicken” and I’m Talking About Jerusalem / “I’m Talking About Jerusalem” have not been translated into Russian).
