Reviews

"A book that has readers demanding more is always praiseworthy, and Gil Perry's ability to read a work of art, and explain it accessibly, while still honouring the artist's often complex intentions, is both rare and valuable. For this alone Playing at Home is welcome."-- "Times Literary Supplement"
