‘An extraordinary invitation into the world of the Dreaming…Unheralded.’ -- Melissa Lucashenko on Sand Talk ‘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 ‘Radical ideas, bursting with reason.’ -- Tara June Winch on Sand Talk ‘Clever, funny, thought provoking, sensible and generous all at the same time. A must read!’ -- Sydney Morning Herald on Sand Talk ‘Thought-provoking.’ -- New York Times on Sand Talk ‘Yunkaporta’s writing style is disarming in the best way possible, never speaking to the reader with anything except earnest camaraderie and effortlessly weaving between corny jokes, mythological allusion, and rigorous cultural theory…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 *
