Critics Review
‘The Wolf Who Cried Boy is violent, unnerving, sadistic and challenging. It is an amazing story to be read with a double gin and tonic within reach for readers of a delicate disposition.’ * Good Reading *
‘Mupotsa-Russell has serious range as a writer: his previous novel was the bestselling black comic crime caper The Hitwoman’s Guide to Reducing Household Debt. This one’s more in the vein of Boy Swallows Universe … but is just as skilled and absorbing.’ * The Age/The Sydney Morning Herald *
‘Thought-provoking.’ * Geelong Advertiser *
‘Mupotsa-Russell’s execution of a child’s perspective is masterful’. * ArtsHub *
‘The Wolf Who Cried Boy is gut-wrenching; beautiful and vivid, but utterly gut-wrenching … This book is tattooed on my mind as one of the best releases of the year for me’. * Readings Monthly *
