Sem Šepard: američka porodica američki sniva – Dugo putovanje kući
Sam Shepard: the American family dreams the American dream – a long journey home

Summary/Abstract: Sam Shepard is an authentic American brand. He is referred to as the best and the most vital American living playwright. For a long time Shepard was “a golden boy”| of the American stage bound to embody the myth of the great American playwright. Some still believe the place to be untaken, although Shepard has been writing for almost half a century now. This paper deals with Shepard’s so-called “kitchen-sink” plays which brought him closer to the cultural mainstream and finally, after 33 years of playwriting to the Broadway itself. This blend of Southern Gothic, personal demons and family pathology, along with the exploration into the archetype, destroys the myth of the (ideal) American family.
