Critics Review
‘I hate those Kitchen Sink Dramas . They’re so clever and funny and succinct, it kills me that I can’t come up with anything that good.’
‘I hate those Kitchen Sink Dramas. They’re so clever and funny and succinct, it kills me that I can’t come up with anything that good.’ * Danny Katz *
‘Kitchen Sink Drama is my ideal book. With a wonderful economy of language it perfectly captures our funny ways. The stories are so droll and the lovely pictures so wise.’ * Jane Turner *
‘Somehow, Paul Connolly manages to convey in 100 magic words what takes the rest of us thousands.’ * Benjamin Law *
‘There is a gentle, quizzical humour at play in these bite-sized vignettes…an intriguing example of what can work in such an abbreviated form.’ * Sydney Morning Herald *
