Publisher's Synopsis
"Not the Time to Stay brings to light for the first time the marvellous work of Puerto Rican playwright Victor Fragoso. Eight plays, edited and translated by Consuelo Martínez-Reyes, portray the socio-cultural issues Fragoso sought to expose: the choice and difficulties of migration, the clash between American and Puerto Rican societies, the oppression suffered by Latinos in the USA, homelessness, and domestic violence, among others. Fragoso played a key role in the New York City theatre scene in the 1970s, and in the overall interrogation of Puerto Rican and Latino identities in the USA. Through the rediscovery of his work, this new generation of Latinos will certainly find in Fragoso a visionary of societal themes, literary and theater practices"--.
