Su questo libro

Recensione:

"The Wild Party?. . . It's the book that made me want to be a writer."
-- William Burroughs

The Wild Party may have begun as a dark Prohibition-era morality fable, but, thanks . . . to Spiegelman, it lives again as a funhouse mirror of current fears."
-- San Francisco Chronicle
