Critics Review

‘Right Story, Wrong Story, at its core, is an invitation to sit, listen and share space in your head with another human being for a while. It’s compelling, it’s refreshing and it’s something I would recommend to anyone disillusioned with modernity and looking for a new perspective.’ * Readings Monthly *‘The scope of his intellect is breathtaking…Each chapter requires careful reading, then a pause to reflect and digest the ideas and information. ★★★★★’ * Good Reading *‘Engaging and generous…an ideal gift for anyone feeling disillusioned by the state of the world.’ * West Australian *‘Bristles with revelation…vigorous brilliance…both sensible and subversive.’ * Age *‘It was certainty that drove a bulldozer through the oldest and deepest philosophic statement on earth at Burrup Peninsula. Sand Talk offers no certainties and Tyson Yunkaporta is not a bulldozer driver. This is a book of cultural and philosophic intrigue. Read it.’ – Bruce Pascoe on Sand Talk‘An extraordinary invitation into the world of the Dreaming…Unheralded.’ – Melissa Lucashenko on Sand Talk
