Although not for the squeamish, the impressive debut play by Alan Bowne is utterly convincing.\" -Variety \"A harrowing drama - the world drawn by Bowne with such nose-rubbing honesty is a reality we all know exists.\" -New York Post \"Simply dazzling, a sharply focused nether world, full of danger and surpassing sadness. These boys live on the bitter edge with survival a matter of day and night doubt. They're eerie men-children thrust from pubescence into a premature sort of middle age. There isn't room in their world for the conventional emotions.\" -Gannett Newspapers\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Broadway Play Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46861081215127,"sku":"9780881456752","price":1190.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780881456752.webp?v=1769960606","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/forty-deuce-9780881456752","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
