Recensione:
"Very amusing, ironic and wise... a success, no doubt about it" (Sydney Morning Herald)
"A novel of epic proportions. It's not merely about characters and events, but also about shapes and landscapes, history and the future, fact and falsehood, light and darkness... He writes with a rare perception of the Australian struggle for a defineable identity in bold, inventive, often wildly funny prose" (David Rooney Time Out)
"The work of a dazzling imagination" (Kate Saunders Independent)
