Critical praise for Antonio Casella’s work
Casella’s intention is to chart and illuminate undiscovered, diffi-cult country… The characters are entirely, sometimes shockingly, believable, and even if they are unlikeable, there is a point of under-standing and sympathy to which we are drawn. Helen Elliott, The Age, Melbourne
Dream and ritual intersect with the real man, define the purpose of things. Walter Tonetto, The West Australian
A beautifully crafted novel. Dianne Johnson, The Sydney Morning Herald
Questa fusione di presente e passato, di nuovo e antico, di vicino e lon-tano, e la nota piu caratteristica della scrittura di Antonio Casella.
[This fusion of present and past, of new and old, of proximity and distance is the most important quality of Antonio Casella’s writ-ing.] Stefania Greco, in Terra e Identita Nella Narrativa Con-temporanea Italo-Australiana dell'Emigrazione. 1999, University of Bologna
