Media Reviews
[An] exploration of an extremely slippery characterological realm offers many substantial pleasures -- Benjamin DeMott * New York Times *
It challenges comparison with some of the world's most bizarre masterpieces * Financial Times *
Patrick White is, in the finest sense, a world novelist. His themes are catholic and complex and he persues them with a single-minded energy and vision -- Robert Nye * Guardian *
