What is the author's style in Twilight: Los Angeles, 1992 by Anna Deavere Smith?

Twilight: Los Angeles, 1992 has been called a work of "documentary theater." The events discussed by the "characters" are real, as are the characters themselves. Smith's method is journalistic, but it is made dramatic by her on-stage renderings or performance of the real persons she depicts. On paper, her work is a collection of monologues compiled from her interviews. Her own voice is removed and her questions merely implied. On stage, Smith strives for objectivity and completely obscures her role as interviewer as she adapts the character and voice of those she had interviewed. Speaking of the published text of Twilight: Los Angeles, 1992, Smith says her book "is first and foremost a document of what an actress heard in Los Angeles," and that her "performance is a reiteration of that."
