Praise for this book

"Simply perfect . . . a bleakly funny yet often unutterably poignant drama that consistently recalls the best of Beckett. . . . It is proper art. " ― The Times

"Slippery, complex . . . murkily magnificent . . . shoulder-shudderingly funny." ― Daily Telegraph

"The ornately verbal, gruffly poetic and violently hilarious vernacular of McDonagh's best writing . . . [This] quietly magnificent film is mythic in its rage and resonance . . . caustically, hauntingly and sometimes raucously sad." ― Variety
