"Pulitzer Prize winner Sam Shepard's The God of Hell is a farce that brings the gifts of a quintessentially American playwright to bear on the current American dilemma." "Frank and Emma are a quiet, respectable couple who raise cows on their Wisconsin farm. Soon after they agree to put up Frank's old friend Haynes, who is on the lam from a secret government project involving plutonium, they're visited by Welch, an unctuous government bureaucrat from hell. His aggressive patriotism puts Frank, Emma, and Haynes on the defensive, transforming a heartland American household into a scene of torture and promoting a radioactive brand of conformity with a dangerously long half life."--BOOK JACKET.
