Critic reviews

"There is not a more important writer working in Australia today." ( Bookseller + Publisher)
"Tsiolkas is a hard-edged, powerful writer...leaves us exhausted but gasping with admiration." ( The Washington Post)
"The sheer energy of Tsiolkas' writing - its urgency and passion and sudden jags of tenderness - is often an end in itself: a thrilling, galvanising reminder of the capacity of fiction to speak to the world it inhabits." ( The Monthly)
"Tsiolkas has become that rarest kind of writer in Australia, a serious literary writer who is also unputdownable, a mesmerising master of how to tell a story. He has this ability more than any other writer in the country." ( The Sun Herald)
