Reception

The book received positive reviews. In a review in The Saturday Paper, Declan Fry called the work "a masterpiece" and "a book that demands your heart".[2] A review by Alix Beetson in the Sydney Review of Books labelled the work "remarkable" and wrote that it was "an attempt to discover a form of writing fit for ephemeral art practices".[5] Reviewing the book in Australian Book Review, Francesca Sasnaitis described the book as "an inventive combination of poetic devices and documentary fragments in a paean to friendship and creativity, and an elegy for a lost friend".[6] The book was named one of the 25 best Australian books of 2021 by The Guardian, which labelled it an "experimental elegy" that is "expansive in thought and an utterly original work of creative nonfiction".[7]
