‘Adroit aphorisms coiling around their own warping structure, filled with historic echoes and utterly recognisable voices. R.D. Laing minus the surplus arrogance, Sarah Kane with the lights on, Antigone in her cell waiting slyly for the men to return—a penetrable delight.’
—Melissa Lee-Houghton

‘It’s exhilarating to read McCauley go into battle full-tilt with words against language, using as a weapon her very own body of vocabulary.’
—Joanna Walsh

‘A document of constellatory flesh from this cardinal supplier of horror-comedy.’
—Alan Fielden
