‘
Salt demonstrates why Bruce Pascoe’s voice is important to the country.’ —Kim Scott
‘A paradigm shift … a wonderful expanse of thinking and storytelling … In prose that is funny in one moment and devastating the next, Pascoe moves us from wry humour [to] the deep sadness that follows the wonder of discovering a history of richness and fullness deliberately obscured.’ —Marie Matteson, Readings
