An acclaimed playwright, Adam Rapp was a 2006 finalist for the Pulitzer Prize for Drama for RED LIGHT WINTER and is the recipient of the Benjamin H. Danks Award from the American Academy of Arts and Letters and the PEN/Laura Pels International Foundation Award. He is also the author of three YA novels, including UNDER THE WOLF, UNDER THE DOG (a Los Angeles Times Book Prize finalist); a graphic novel, BALL-PEEN HAMMER; and the adult novel THE YEAR OF ENDLESS SORROWS (FSG, 2006).
