Press
“Written in a form Mac calls ‘absurd realism,’ ‘Hir’ challenges expectations on every level except that of providing engrossing entertainment, which it does to a remarkable degree. But be warned: The outrageous comedy and pointed satire in this battle of gender roles contains a tragic undertow with its own ambiguity about audience preconceptions in the end.” -- San Francisco Chronicle
