"Its sharpness left me slack-jawed." The Times
"A surreal flow of snippets - news and views, music and memories - melded into a huge
orchestral piece of compelling originality. THE SKEWER is satire at its cleverest, both

sound like.β
βA unique celebration of diversity in terms of views, contributors, and attitude. The Skewer is a masterpiece that gives voice to the unheardβ.
