I am linking Atkinson's opening-night review of Death of a Salesman. His Sunday followup piece can easily be found online.
This review is more specific than I think of Atkinson as generally being. And it is probably as much of a rave as anything he ever wrote. I can't put into words the stylistic differences between this and that Dear Evan Hansen Atkinson review. Perhaps someone else can. But there are certainly things in the fake review that I just can't imagine Atkinson ever writing. Also, I can't imagine him writing that kind of all-out rave for Dear Evan Hansen. Not because I think he might not have liked it, but because such all-out raves — the Death of a Salesman review is one — were rare from Atkinson.
Perhaps I would say that there is a quietness even to Atkinson's raves, and that is missing from the Dear Evan Hansen review. |
