"For me All Right! is a manifesto kind of thing, in the way that A Cloud in Trousers has been, for its time. [It incorporates] less abstract poetic tricks (hyperbole, self-important vignettes), and more of the new, freshly invented ways of processing historical and agitative material," he wrote in the autobiography I, Myself.[2]
