Summary: 5 Stars
This is the perfect book for an English major. The protagonist of the book, as a literature professor, utilizes literary and linguistic humor to relay her messages, making this the perfect read for those of us book nerds out there. Funny at times, touching at others, this play will have you crying and laughing simultaneously.Book Review: poignant
Summary: 5 Stars
This play lives up to its' Pulitzer Prize Award by its' ability to reach a myriad of emotions. This is accomplished through the strong descriptions through the eyes of a poetry professor who is an ovarian cancer patient, as well as new and more experienced physcians and hospital staff. A very different and poignant view!Book Review: Intelligent and moving - one of the best plays I've read.
Summary: 5 Stars
Edson's play is remarkable for its intelligent, caring and entertaining take on a difficult subject. Just reading it is not enough. You must see it on stage. I was fortunate to see Judith Light in the Union Square Theatre producion...it left me in awe.Book Review: deserving winner of the pulitzer prize!

Summary: 5 Stars
This play is a wonderful companion to Donne. It isn't necessary to have read the poetry/sermons of Donne to appreciate this beautifully moving play, yet it is a fulfilling exercise to read the works in tandem.
