One Potato Review

Written in 1979, this may seem so simple and obvious now, but that does not make it any less essential. In fact, it’s very guilelessness remains an asset: Oliver Button might be a singer, a dancer, an artist, and play with paper dolls, but that should not need to mean anything more than that. Probably better for younger readers, before they are drowning in signifiers.
