"Koogler's characters are earnest, idiosyncratic, and suspicious of hierarchy. Often bitingly funny, Koogler's plays.reveal larger truths about the economic and racial systems under which we all live." - The Yale Review Abe Koogler writes darkly comedic plays. Many of them are about economic class, unusual jobs, and the challenges and absurdities of making a living in today's America. Although grounded in realism, his plays often incorporate imaginary elements and heightened or musical language. In his first play collection, Koogler's work is brought together and introduced by the author himself, giving insights into his range in style, from naturalistic to absurd. Deep Blue Sound: "A fairly conventional heart beats underneath the quirky stylings ... it also tees up a lovely, melancholy coda about the reassuring comforts of a familiar home" - New York Times Fulfilment Centre: "steeped in a luminous and illuminating empathy that feels both uncommon and essential right now" - New York Times Aspen Ideas: A fast-paced and darkly comedic thriller about the poisonous appeal of believing that the best ideas win, and that winners know best. Kill Floor: "never strikes a false or strained note as Mr. Koogler observes the awkward cut-and-thrust of the relationships among the characters" - New York Times Advance Man: ripe with experimental language, movement and absurdism, a dark comedy exploring what it means to be a politically-engaged American.
