Cipa, Matthew: Is Harpo Free? - And Other Questions of the Metaphysical Screen
(Category: Books and articles which mention the Marx Brothers in a larger context)
The preface ("Prelude: Is Harpo Free? Four Ways") is about Harpo.
From the publisher: "'Is Harpo Free?' is a lively appreciation of film and television's ability to artistically explore concepts typical of philosophical metaphysics, such as free will, causality, and personal identity. [...] the book [...] celebrates the artistic ways in which they give life to various metaphysical concepts and how the artistic expression of these concepts and ideas helps us understand ourselves, the world, and our place within it. [...] Films and television programs discussed include 'A Night at the Opera'; 'Run, Lola, Run'; 'Shane'; 'Harvey'; 'Three Colours: Blue'; 'The Americans'; 'Dark'; and 'Fargo'."
