Baal is Brilliance,
By "wilintn" (New Johnsonville, TN United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Baal, A Man's a Man, and the Elephant Calf (Brecht, Bertolt) (Paperback)
Brecht's language is melting. The plot resembles that of Chekhov's Platonov, only more poetic. Is one of Brecht's best plays, often underrated. Highly recommended by this reader.
