Review
“A modern day Molière.” (Backstage)
“Literature is lucky to have Ishmael Reed around. If only for the fun of it.” (David Remnick - Washington Post)
“Reed’s gift is for the outrageous, for giving vivid expression to cultural controversies very much in the air . . . He is one of the most underrated writers in America.” (New York Review of Books)
