Praise for Boy Swallows Universe

‘An astonishing achievement. Dalton is a breath of fresh air – raw, honest, funny, moving. He has created a novel of the most surprising and addictive nature. Unputdownable’

David Wenham

‘I couldn’t stop reading from the moment I started, and I still can barely speak for the beauty of it. Trent Dalton has done something very special here, writing with grace, from his own broken heart’

Caroline Overington, author of The One Who Got Away

‘This novel is a raucous, moving, hilarious triumph – a major new voice on the Australian literary scene has arrived’

Nikki Gemmell, author of The Bride Stripped Bare and After

‘Enthralling – a moving account of sibling solidarity and the dogged pursuit of love’

Geoffrey Robertson QC

‘Stunning. My favourite novel for decades. Left me devastated but looking to the heavens’

Tim Rogers, author of Detours

‘Oh my God. Wow. It’s just superb. I’ve always looked out for Trent’s work because he has a magic about him: what he sees, how he explains things. He can describe a kitchen table in a way that makes you want to throw your arms around it. After reading Boy Swallows Universe, I realise that his genius isn’t really just about writing so much; it’s about hope, and his instinctive and infectious “Yes” to one of the most plaguing questions of the human night: can tenderness survive brutality? This novel confirms Trent Dalton as a genuine treasure of Australian letters’

Annabel Crabb

‘As a brilliant journalist, Trent Dalton has always intimately understood how fact is often stranger than fiction. Perhaps it took someone like him to produce a novel so humming with truth. Call it a hunch, but I think he might’ve just written an Australian classic’
