A brilliant piece of ventriloquism . . . about the power of the
imagination and the courage of gifted writers, but also—and much
more simply—about the decency of ordinary people." — Bill Manhire,
poet, Lifted
"Patrick Evans is a stimulating and iconoclastic writer on our
literature; he is also a richly talented playwright and novelist."
— Owen Marshall, author, When Gravity Snaps
"A magnificent reimagining of a signal moment in our cultural
history, this is both a novel of surpassing tenderness and a primer
on creative writing. . . . This is a rare and transforming reading
experience." — Kate de Goldi, author, The 10PM Question
