"I never quite understood World War 1 in the way that I've understood other 20th century wars. It always felt a bit too distant and complicated. I read this book during the 2014 centenary commemorations of the war, and suddenly the conflict snapped into focus for me in a way it never had before."

"I'm not really a fan of biographies, or of Francis Bacon's art. So why do I love this book? It brings mid-20th century gay London to life. And it helps me understand why people appreciate Bacon's work so deeply, even if I still can't say I'd hang his paintings on my living room wall."

"I’ve been reading and re-reading the various essays in this book for 20 years with only a fleeting understanding of the Informe. The book pays homage to George Bataille’s term, meant to suggest that the 20th century breaks down the historical and potential monumentality of the form to plasticity… or something like that."
