‘An indigenous Australian literary vernacular of consummate skill that is not afraid to relax into poetic reverie but can, and does, snap taut at a moment’s notice.’

MICHELE GROSSMAN, Australian

‘Wright’s narrative voice is remarkable, shifting like a cyclone from full velocity to poetic calm. It’s got the feel of the voices you hear up north: the rapidfire delivery, the long digressions, the meandering storyline and, above all, the wicked humour.’

SALLY BLAKENEY, Bulletin

‘Wright breaks all the rules of grammar and syntax to sweep us along on a great torrent of language that thrills and amazes with its inventiveness and humour and with the sheer power of its storytelling. It’s brutal and confronting and it’s sad and funny at the same time.’

LIAM DAVISON, Sydney Morning Herald

‘This is not myth as Western culture understands it: not an imagined dimension, but a literal if incorporeal one that bisects and animates the physical world; it makes for marvellous theatre.’

ELIZABETH LOWRY, London Review of Books
