’Colin Batrouney’s new novel is unexpected and alluring. Balancing out satire which hits home with feelings which run deep is something only truly accomplished writers can achieve – and he does.’ DAVID HARE

‘The Bannerman Shortlist is a beauty. It’s clever, original, and compelling. It’s the best contemporary novel I’ve read for quite some time.’ ANDREA GOLDSMITH

‘Batrouney’s new novel is an exquisite joy, one of the most pleasurable books I have read in ages. The joy is in the elegance and assurance of the writing, in the sophistication and wit of the satire, and in the richly imagined characters and narrative. What a pure delight! I wanted to stay within its pages for the longest time.’ CHRISTOS TSIOLKAS

‘A wicked invention, and very, very funny.’ DAVID MARR

COLIN BATROUNEY is the author of Omar and Enzo in the Big Talking Book (Clouds of Magellan Press) and Creative Writing for Beginners (Affirm Press). He lives in Melbourne.
