Kritik
"A compelling, almost addictive read, it becomes progressively more gruesome, as Dukore progresses through the seamy side of life and society with relentless moral determination." (Anne wright, The Shavian, Vol. 14 (1), 2018)

"The purpose of Crimes and Punishments and Bernard Shaw was to provide 'gateways' that will 'permit the reader to encounter [Shaw's] drama and ideas in a fresh context.' It has superbly fulfilled that purpose and will likely stand as the definitive treatment of this important topic." (Michel Pharand, SHAW The Journal of Bernard Shaw Studies, Vol. 358 (02), 2018)mehr
