Every Move You Make

Rare and luminous talent...an outstanding collection -- Jem Poster * Guardian *
Contemporary Australia lives and breathes, shudders, groans and even scratches without a trace of inhibition throughout these seven vivid narratives from one of the finest of contemporary writers * Irish Times *
Graceful and unsettling... Malouf's prose is invariably elegant -- David Flusfeder * Financial Times *
A master of the incisive, seamless, turns-on-a-sixpence short story...this collection is a jewel -- Kate Saunders * The Times *
Tender and luminous tales...It is his rich landscapes for which Malouf is most often praised and this collection contains some of the most evocative descriptions of the Australian continent -- Chitra Ramaswamy * Scotland on Sunday *
Contemplative, ethereal, sharply perceptive, this collection is a fascinating exploration of the inner worlds that separate and connect us all -- Mary Fitzgerald * New Statesman *
Malouf, always so precise in his characterisation, so poetic in his evocations of nature and so haunting in his insight into loneliness and frustrated love, is a writer to treasure -- Francis Quinn * Literary Review *
At times unsettling in the intensity of their vision, Malouf's stories provide a deeply intelligent meditation on the unknowability of the self -- Anna Scott * Observer *
Colours and landscapes are evoked in language that, at once lush and direct, is in itself a pleasure and a reminder that Malouf is also a poet of considerable talent -- Aamer Hussein * Independent *
His writing here has a fine descriptive delicacy and sensory exactness that act as guarantees of the stories' truth and the authenticity of the experiences they embody -- Tom Deveson * Sunday Times *
