"A tangled simulation of consciousness and memory" – The Washington City Paper
"Mr Ware's style, a blend of simplified body forms and overly detailed layouts, may make the strip a daunting read for newcomers to the comics medium, much the way the dense language of Ulysses challenged readers. The joys of the two works are the same, however: of being swept away by the dense poetry of an exciting and powerful work of art." – The Wall Street Journal "A meticulous record of the minutiae of nothing happening: eating, waiting, being disappointed." – The London Review of Books "The colours are dreadful, it's like looking at a bottle of Domestos or Harpic or Ajax. Awful bleak colours, revolting to look at; it's on its way to the Oxfam shop. Disgusting look to it. Really horrible." – poet Tom Paulin, BBC Newsnight, December 8th 2001 |
