"""As a playful riposte to our self-conscious, drearily introspective age, The Power of Cute is rather more savvy than its sweetly diminutive form suggests.""---Frankie McCoy, Standpoint ""[Simon May] posits that our mania for cute can have sinister repercussions, and might even explain the rise of Donald Trump.""---Kate Wills, Evening Standard"

""May is a lively guide to the uncanny world of Cute, his analysis keen and his sense of humour sharp. You won’t look at Kim Jong-il and Donald Trump in the same way again.""---Francesca Carington, Tatler ""A short, snappy treatise. . . . A playful riposte to our self-conscious, drearily introspective age.""---Frankie McCoy, Standpoint ""[May] posits that our mania for cute can have sinister repercussions, and might even explain the rise of Donald Trump.""---Kate Wills, Evening Standard
