Critical Acclaim
The Strip and the Tate Britain exhibition have received wide critical acclaim from both the art and literary worlds:
I think the Drunken Bakers is like Samuel fucking Beckett or something. It's horrible and really funny. - Alan Moore
Comedy drunks have been around since drinks first began, but few have been so utterly forlorn as the Drunken Bakers. - Steve Lowe, The Guardian
The aesthetic compression of Mr Farmer's dialogue and Mr Healey's line...convey an oppressive sense of the drinker's irresistible drive for oblivion. - Roberta Smith, New York Times
It's brilliant. - Christopher Howse, The Daily Telegraph

Famous quotes containing the words critical and/or acclaim:
“The male has been persuaded to assume a certain onerous and disagreeable rôle with the promise of rewards—material and psychological. Women may in the first place even have put it into his head. BE A MAN! may have been, metaphorically, what Eve uttered at the critical moment in the Garden of Eden.”
—Wyndham Lewis (1882–1957)
“in every language even deafanddumb
thy sons acclaim your glorious name by gorry
by jing by gee by gosh by gum”
—E.E. (Edward Estlin)
