Its Tony Award-winning productions starring Lily Tomlin brought Wagner?s book coast-to-coast success in the 1980s and 1990s?and its penetrating insights into class struggles, social inequalities, and gender politics have given the drama an enduring, wise, and powerful relevance to readers in the 21st century. Fans of <i>Rent</i>, <i>Angels in America</i>, and <i>The Book of Mormon </i>will find <i>The Search for Signs of Intelligent Life in the Universe </i>as irresistible as it is wholly unforgettable.
