"Karen Mac Cormack writes a play of voices and the voicing of places as they combine. The combination is one where what would otherwise be merely singular begins to overlap. Citation, statement and creationa multiplicity of moments that are only present as a weavework together to narrate. The reader is implicated from the start. However, there is no single place that calls. Voices continue to speak. Identities howeverthe names and voicescan only ever be glanced at. And yet, the writing suggests. Humor and a complex sense of pathos work together. The writing entices. As would be expected Karen Mac Cormack has written an important book. Its presence connects the pleasure that reading affords with the critical reflection that writing demands"Andrew Benjamin.
