“Rent is a phenomenon.” - The New York TimesThirty years after it first redefined what musical theatre could be, RENT remains a rallying cry for connection, creativity, and living without regret. After opening on Broadway in 1996, winning the Pulitzer Prize for Drama and four Tony Awards including Best Musical, it created an enduring legacy of a work that changed Broadway—and the lives of audiences around the world—forever.Set in New York City’s East Village at the height of the HIV/AIDS crisis, RENT follows a community of young artists struggling to survive, create, and love in the face of uncertainty. With its electrifying score and deeply human storytelling, Jonathan Larson’s groundbreaking musical brought rock music to Broadway with an authenticity and urgency that continues to resonate across generations.This 30th anniversary commemorative edition presents Larson’s complete book and lyrics in their entirety, offering unprecedented insight into a cultural landmark. Featuring a new introduction by original director Michael Greif, readers and theatre lovers alike are invited to experience the raw emotion, wit, and compassion from its intimate character moments to its anthemic songs that have become part of the global musical canon.Whether revisiting the show or discovering it anew, this edition honours Larson’s vision and the community that has kept RENT alive for three decades. It stands as both a tribute to a singular artistic voice and a testament to the power of storytelling in times of crisis. - Engelska, 2005

Before the revolutionary rock musical Rent, Jonathan Larson had another story to tell... his own. tick, tick ... BOOM! is a three-chapter pop rock musical about facing crossroads in life and holding on to your dreams that was first produced off Broadway in 2001. It tells the story of young Jonathan, a promising young composer on the eve of his 30th birthday. His girlfriend wants to get married and move out of the city (tick); his best friend is making big bucks on Madison Avenue (tick); and he's still waiting tables and trying to write the great American musical before time, and life, passes him by (BOOM!). - Del 9 - Rochester Studies in East and Central Europe

Critical Thinking in Slovakia after Socialism interrogates the putative relationship between critical thought and society through an ethnographic study of civic discourse in post-1989 Slovakia.Critical thinking is the civic virtue of a liberal democracy. Citizens who think for themselves, cooperate, and can agree to disagree are the hallmark of a self-governing society. People from undemocratic societies, however, are often believed to lack this virtue, because authoritarian regimes smother critical discourse through fear and dull critical thought through the control of information and propaganda. After the end of Communist rule in 1989, Westernagents of democratization and educational development chided the residents of the former Czechoslovakia for this deficiency, claiming that the Slovaks' inability to think critically was the reason the nation struggled to integrate with Western Europe.Critical Thinking in Slovakia after Socialism examines this putative relationship between critical thought and society through an ethnographic study of post-1989 Slovakia. Drawing on original fieldwork and anthropological theories of language and culture, Jonathan Larson uncovers patterns of social analysis and criticism in Slovak political discourse. He exposes ways in which these discursive practices have been misinterpreted and explains their underlying dynamics in Slovak society. This important volume, bringing together scholarship on East Central Europe, liberalism, education, and the public sphere, gives students of modern history, politics,and culture a fresh perspective on a skill essential to civil society.JONATHAN L. LARSON is Assistant Professor of Education at Grinnell College, IA.
