Edward Champion's Return of the Reluctant

Don DeLillo, Not the Next Clifford Odets

The Vancouver Courier is unimpressed with Don DeLillo's 1999 play Valparaiso, pointing out "it doesn't make for fully satisfying theatre. At the heart of DeLillo's play, there's a sad, sad story and the impact could have been overwhelming. But that's not where DeLillo wants to go and so Valparaiso doesn't go there."
