Sam Shepard and the struggles of American manhood : The New Yorker

Finished reading this Sam Shepard profile in the New Yorker from last week-need to read more of his plays it seems. Loved the 2005 film, Don't Come Knocking directed by Wim Wenders. Seemed like a scene in that film, where a young man is sitting outside a building on a couch that seems like it's been thrown out the window is purely from the life of Shepard, but who knows. Amazing playwright of course, but the enigma is shown when you see him on camera. Fabulous actor and those piercing eyes leave you thinking.
