Industry Reviews
"[Carey's] frank and restless book percolate with ambivalence, evincing a complicated attitude toward everything....Some of the book's most revealing arguments occur in Carey's own head."
New York Times Book Review - Gary Krist (09/16/2001)
"[Carey's] book is curiously foreshortened: reluctant and withholding for a while until it suddenly collapses into something better."

"[A]n intimate, amusing and capricious account of a city that many readers may have trouble recognizing....why Carey has chosen to live in New York, his home for the past ten years, is not clear, but his nostalgia for Sydney is obvious....[I]nto this tiny book Peter Carey has crammed a host of enjoyable, extended anecdotes...."
