In Karen Hartman’s "juicyfruit tragedy," two young sisters discover new appetites within the walls of their father’s garden. Gum explores the need to tame nature in a fictional fundamental country where the title candy is contraband and every desire has its price. "A brief, intense, beguiling, sensual, witty, impassioned, deeply moving and brightly burnished gem"—San Francisco Examiner. Also includes The Mother of Modern Censorship.

Karen Hartman is the author of Girl Under Grain, Troy Women and Alice: Tales of a Curious Girl. She is a native of San Diego who lives in Brooklyn and is currently the playwright-in-residence at Princeton University.

Industry Reviews

"A brief, intense, beguiling, sensual, witty, impassioned, deeply moving and brightly burnished gem" San Francisco Examiner "Sensual, bold, subversive playwriting. Karen Hartman is a writer to watch" Emily Mann "Gum is both hilarious and disturbing. It, and its companion The Mother of Modern Censorship - also included in the volume - are superb satires and also compassionate dramatic visions. Karen Hartman is fulfilling her extraordinary early promise." Harold Bloom
