Book Reviews of Harvey

Book Review: A strange white rabbit between us
Summary: 5 Stars

This play is wonderful and very clever; even if we can be happy reading, we understand that our life is really closed in many ways, even if we don't want to be drunk to forget our responsibilities we ask ourselves : is this the life we would like? The picture of the good society is very agreeable and true: a good woman cannot be good with her brother, a good daughter feels a violent man, a good doctor wants make a trip with an invisible rabbit, a good judge cannot see the reality... Only simple people are really kind, when meet Elwood and he and Harvey are near them: the great Herman Schimmelplusser (an old man which all call only Herman, only Elwood speaks him with respectful), or the taxi driver Lofgren (which remember the poetic, gentle soul of the crazy he carried at hospital), or Mr. Minninger, an old drunk a day in jail a day out.. These are the Elwood's best friends, he invites these people at dinner, producing big shame of Veta. At last we would like know something about the Elwood's past life, what made change him. We cannot, but it maybe we can: just seeing in ourselves. Mary Chase won the Pulitzer Prize with "Harvey".
