Reviews

‘This is a dazzling work, part notebook, part memoir, part puzzle. The reader might feel played like a fish, lured in with a line that seems to be leading to a scene, or a situation, only to find themselves disoriented by a change of pronoun, a detail out of place, a movement in time. Before long it becomes apparent that the sentences do not quite read consecutively, but by now the reader is hooked by the text’s strange rhythms, narrative threads and depths of passionate feeling.’ -- Anna Jackson
