Critics Review
“Ambitious, expansive and infused with deep wisdom, 58 Facets is a moving testament to our common humanity.” - Kylie Moore-Gilbert
“58 Facets captures our time, with its multiplicity of articulations. It is an articulation of genres, mixing an autobiographical and a legal gaze. It is an articulation of geographies, oscillating between Australia, Europe and the Middle East. And it is an articulation of multiple personal, professional and political attachments across time and space.” - Ghassan Hage
“58 Facets poses a multi-disciplinary challenge to its readers - if laws are not challenged they remain lifeless and static. Progress is neither linear nor inevitable. It happens because people make it happen - when inspired by books like this.” - Jon Faine
