In Rules for Others to Live By, Pulitzer finalist and Tony Award winning playwright Richard Greenberg shares stories from his life. Here are observations from two decades of residence on a three-block stretch of New York City and musings from his brilliant, if not a little unusual, mind. Spanning a range of conversational topics from friendship to writing, urban life to visiting parents, health crises to hypochondria and other paranoid tendencies, Greenberg's distinct and hilarious voice articulates our own mild obsessions and idiosyncrasies.
