Exaggeration

Rec'd an email this morning in which I'm called "the leading scholar on hyperdrama", but I doubt if this is true, the operative word being "scholar." I may well be the leading creator of hyperdrama, or at least I know of no one who comes close to the number of hyperdrama works I've had produced, even though my best (Chekhov) has never been produced. I'm also given credit for coining the term, which may or may not be true. I'll accept it until proven otherwise. But I've had seven hyperdramas done, which is a lot in this very small field. And most of these were produced 20 years ago. I was one of the first playwrights to become obsessed with the form, I think.
