I'm finishing reading howard Pollock's bio of Marc Blitzstein; His Sacco and Vansetti opera was unfinished at his death, Finished songs remain, there have been attempts by friends to finish the work, etc.,But I cant go down to Barnes and Noble and buy a CD of the opera; I like all of his music that I've heard, except for . oddly enough, the famous Cradle Will rock.I've got the recording with Jerry Orbach on order- maybe that will change my mind;......After he finished his big three novels, Henry James had one of those (Let's toss all the letters in the fireplace tea parties) and earlier he had written a novella The Aspern Papers, Later dramatized by Sir Michael Redgrave. that dealt with a similar situation. I suppose Albee's executors will go by the letter of the will, but if they can honestly want and find a loophole for publication, I WOULD NOT OBFECT(LIKE I HAVE ANY RIGHT TO OBJECT)Sorry my keyboard is misbehaving.
