Talking Heads places Alan Bennett in the highest tier of English
dramatic writers
*New York Times*
His finest achievement - indeed masterpiece wouldn't be too strong
a word
*The Daily Telegraph*
Bennett's genius is his ability to satirize humanely. [His] prose
is like stained glass: if you stare at it, you see things you
missed
*New York Times Book Review*
It's hardly a revelation to say that Alan Bennett has proved
himself a master of the modern dramatic monologue... One of the
finest dramatic achievements of the past few decades.
