Eugene O'Neill's autobiographical play Long Day's Journey into Night is regarded as his finest work.
First published by Yale University Press in 1956, it won the Pulitzer Prize in 1957 and has since sold more than one million copies. This edition, which includes a new foreword by Harold Bloom, coincided with a new production of the play.
Long Day's Journey Into Night is the story of one devastating day in the Tyrone family. The play is autobiographical, and O'Neill draws his drug-addicted mother, his close-fisted father, his drunken and degenerate elder brother, and his tormented self, with terrifying veracity.
