“In Carson, a single sentence can transcend the entire operation.”
— Blake Butler, Vice Magazine on Anne Carson
“[Antigonick] is both riveting and humorous. Bianca Stone's illustrations are immediate and visceral, and Robert Currie's overall book design has elegance and strength.”
— The Globe & Mail [UK] on Anne Carson's Antigonick
“It is a cry of grief posed in question form, emphatic, handwritten, excessive and abbreviated and, in this sense, a measured scream that gives us some sense of who or what lives on when it is all too late.”
— Judith Butler, Public Books on Anne Carson's Antigonick
“This volume will afford great pleasure to scholars, teachers, and also those who simply love to watch delightful souls disport themselves in language.”
