...write a work of art to put his death in some sort of perspective, but I don't have the talent. I could write a glorious indictment of drunk driving in this country and the mentality that fosters it, but statistics won't explain why he died.

It is a glorious cacophony of playwrights' voices, of eloquent agnostics fulminating like defrocked prelates, debating the fate of modern man with irony and rant.
