Press Reviews

"Julian Sheppard's BUICKS is so well written, as well as honestly unmanipulative, and so droll and touching as to deserve the categorical imperative GO!“ —New York Magazine.   ”BUICKS is a splendid dark comedy…equal parts Raymond Carver and Sam Shepard, with a dash of surprising optimism.“ —New York Post.   ”Julian Sheppard's insistently strong BUICKS is the latest in the series of spins on Arthur Miller's Death of a Salesman that have elbowed their way onto the American cultural horizon since 1949."
