Michael Paulson writes in The New York Times today:
“[Edward] Albee wants two of his friends to destroy any incomplete manuscripts he left behind.
“The instruction — included in a will Albee filed on Long Island, where he lived and died — is unusual but not unprecedented. There is a term in the legal world for such instructions — dead hand control — and, although compliance has varied and enforceability is debatable, they have been attempted by artists from Franz Kafka to a Beastie Boy.”
