Starting with Pals, the first play in this collection, the author
demonstrates a flair for the bizarre. In Simply Simon he forces the
reader to suspend his disbelief, for all the cows in the village
have "forgotten" how to flick their tails. Several of the plays
have the Holocaust as a background, and even here Kaufman
introduces personages who have a sense of humor. They all need help
to make a life for themselves in the tense world we live in. Many
characters and plots are reminiscent of personal experiences,
although the author insists they are, to a great extent,
fictitious. In Lucky To Be Here, he tells of a young boy's
impressions in a midsize American city during the years of World
War II--largely an account of his own growing-up as a refugee from
Nazi Germany. Lifelines also has its roots in the old world. In IS
200, Kaufman comes to terms with the devastating experience of
surviving a stroke. All in all, the reader will not be bored!
