Reviews

With so many factors at play in relatively few pages, somehow, this densely allusive, rich and unusual anti-novel retains at all times a sense of fun while remaining a gratifyingly challenging read.
*The Guardian*

This young Australian has evidently made a close study of James Joyce and Samuel Beckett (and maybe of Henry Green) — and sets out in his first novel to recover and extend their enchantments.
*The Millions*

Brilliant and dark, mysterious and immediate, moving and maddening, disturbing and entertaining, this extraordinary first novel compacts the histories of a continent and a family into a dazzle of two hundred pages.
