A widower and widow — the “Baron” and Dora Lev — make each other’s acquaintance on a park bench somewhere in Manhattan’s Central Park. Their ensuing conversation encompasses not only the entire park, but the world. Tobias has written a true masterpiece, truly out-of-sync with the rush of the mainstream. Rather, it is crafted, nurtured, magnificently rendered in an intoxicating, accessible style at once visionary and shamanic. Michael Tobias has given his international readership in-depth, mystical inroads to the characters and circumstances that are fundamental to this unique genre; a merging of the forest, its ancestors and genetic future, with the far more “mundane” realities of everyday hopes and dreams, frustrations, tragedies and, to paraphrase psychologist Carl Jung, “the heroism of everyday.” One of the world’s more prolific artists, Tobias quietly evinces — in this infectious conversation reminiscent of Goethe’s “Conversations With Eckermann” — an unforgettable relationship between the Baron, his pet squirrel Twinkle, and Dora. “Central Park” is a veritable history of landscape and biological aesthetics; a psychoanalysis of violence, a séance on mortality, a secret passage-way into the labyrinth of most poignant elderly love affairs, and, lastly, a towering and intoxicating testimony to humanity’s awesome paradox namely, our ephemeral obsessions with intangible utopias whose mirror image is that of the yearning heart. Rooted to a park bench in upper Manhattan, “Central Park” is one of the great theatre pieces of applied ethics, comparative philosophy, and emotional realism in the 21st century.

This novel, or three act play - however one chooses to describe it - is a deeply moving testimony to the power of love, and the impact of nature on all of our lives. Set in one of my personal favorite city parks in all of the world (up there with Tijuca above Rio, and Golden Gate Park in San Francisco) Central Park hosts nearly a third of all bird species found in the United States and it is also home to a unique community of squirrels (one of whom figures prominently in the story). Tobias's dazzling conversation between essentially just two characters reminded me in many respects of some of the great playwrights like Anton Chekhov, Henrik Ibsen and Harold Pinter.But there is also a quality of Samuel Beckett in Tobias' Central Park. It is hauntingly beautiful and where it is woeful, it is equally filled with light and a future work living for.
A deeply affecting work of art.
