Reviews
'We should be grateful for this text ... [it] takes us to the heart of Kantor's creative choices and processes and serves well the reader who has perhaps tried to penetrate Kantor's rather esoteric manifestos cold ? and given up. It also helps to have such a guide if this is your first meeting with Kantor. Through his various strategies and choice of document, Miklaszewski paints a dynamic picture of this thoughtful genius and egoist.' ? Contemporary Theatre Review
