COST OF LIVING
BY MARTYNA MAJOK
WINNER OF THE 2018 PULITZER PRIZE FOR DRAMA

“Ms.Majok,whowasborninPoland,isexquisitelyattuned
tothemanyvarietiesofalienationhidinginplainsightin

Cost of Living,you'renotlooking.”—New York Times
Overworked but struggling, Jess takes a job as a caregiver for
John, a brusque but bright graduate student who has cerebral palsy.
Eddie is an unemployed truck driver who reaches a fragile détente with
his estranged wife Ani after a devastating car accident requires her to
go through a double above-the-knee amputation. With an unsentimental
but keen eye, Majok deftly challenges the typical perceptions of those
living with disabilities and delves deep into the ways class, race,
nationality, and wealth can create gulfs between people, even as
they long for the ability to connect.
