Editorial Review
"Ransom, his first novel in 10 years... is (however abused the word) a masterpiece, exquisitely written, pithy and wise and overwhelmingly moving, constructed with invisible, successful craft that leaves the reader wondering how in the world it has been done... Fiction, in Malouf's hands, becomes the art of rendering the world coherent." — Alberto Manguel, Australian Literary Review "These pages of Ransom are nothing short of magical. Malouf's prose is delicate, marvellously alert to the natural world and endowed with a quality that has one name only: wisdom." — Andrew Reimer, The Sydney Morning Herald "In austere, elegant prose that subverts Homer's Iliad in significant ways, David Malouf has created in Ransom an imaginative terrain that is both new and old." — Rod Jones, The Age
