Industry Reviews
"The book is like a whacked-out storyboard for a cartoon biopic of Nixon's career."
Bookforum - Harry Cooper

"In spite of Guston's hatred for his subject, the mood is meditative, fanciful. We have entered the realm of burlesque, for Guston's Nixon is less a political caricature than the embodiment of all resentment and self-pity....The Poor Richard drawings are still fresh and funny, a rare example of an American painter engaging with politics without being preachy or irrelevant."
Times Literary Supplement - Chase Madar (11/16/2001)
