As I do for every one of my books, I try to put all the reviews in one place.
Here is a list of reviews and related material connected to The Theory of Everything.
- Bec Kavanagh refers to the book as a kaleidoscopic experiment for The Guardian.
- Jessica Gildersleeve engages with the post-novel form of The Theory of Everything for The Conversation.
- Andy Jackson writes for The Saturday Paper here. This was the first review to appear of the book.
- Ariana Haghighi titles the review “You may just have to read the theory” for Meanjin. Often I think there’s only so much a review or a blurb can say and a reader needs to read to make up their own mind.
- The Sydney Morning Herald refers to it as stylish and searching writing, with an exquisite command of language holding fast through unstable experimentation with form. It was also their fiction pick for a week in March.
- For ArtsHub, Erin Stewart explores the the book’s resistance against categorisation in this review.
- Jennifer Mills reviews The Theory of Review in the August edition of the Australian Book Review where it is referred to as an essay wearing fiction’s mask.
This list will be updated when necessary.
In other news, Jumaana Abdu read a version of Two Burials at an event in Parramatta last year. It is haunting and it is now online at Phoebe Journal. It is one of my favourite short stories ever.
