Seymour Krim
"Through Ayden's eyes we see an 'Amerika' as odd as Kafka's, as funny, as absurdly sad."
Frank O'Hara
"Ayden presents a brazen, bizarre, and, best of all, original picture of pathos."
Tampa Bay Times, August 8, 1992
"A moving study of a lonely man who is forever flowing upstream. It is the nightmare of the human animal."
The San Francisco Examiner, July 28, 1968
