I briefly met the great Edward Albee years ago when I was working at Doubleday. I knew that Albee would be showing up that day to discuss with my boss a collection of his best plays, personally selected and introduced by the playwright. I came up with some absurd excuse to walk into my boss's office and in the process say hi to Albee and then make a quick exit. (Later I had the satisfaction of proofreading the text of Albee's elegant introduction.) Albee's own exit at age 88 is far too soon. He was one of the giants of the American theater.
