Editorial reviews
A rich and inventive tapestry of interwoven tales set among the aborigines of northwestern Queensland, Australia. Author Alexis Wright experiments with both form and language to create a startlingly original story that's both tragic and comic, using tales that blend the political with the mythological, the local and the universal. Although sometimes challenging, listeners are likely to enjoy the trip, and the novel coheres in startling ways at its center. Performer Isaac Drandich's deep, friendly voice provides an accessible narration that counterbalances some of the more challenging material.
Critic reviews
"A swelling, heaving tsunami of a novel: stinging, sinuous, salted with outrageous humour, sweetened by spiralling lyricism and swaggering with the confident promise of a tale dominated by risk, roguery and revelation." ( The Australian)

And the reading, by the way, by Isaac Drandic, an experienced theatrical director, is more than up to the task. In fact, the Audible version adds a whole new dimension to the written novel. Drandic expertly moves from character to character, from moment to moment, conveying in perfectly dramatized form the “feeling” of events and dialogue, tapping into the roots of local knowledge, local emotion, and making it all live in the recording as it might not even do on the page (especially for non-Australians). A consummate performance!
Phenomenal work!

I couldn't continue listening so I am going to buy the book. The story is important and well written but the narrator ruined it for me.Would you be willing to try another one of Isaac Drandich’s performances?
