WHAT THE CRITICS SAY:

“Tsiolkas is a true storyteller and a hundred sentences could be plucked from the text to demonstrate his genius for establishing place, mood and character in a handful of words.”
David Marr on Dead Europe
The Sydney Morning Herald - June 2005

“Blasphemous, Disturbing, Brilliant”
Sara Dowse on Dead Europe
The Canberra Times – June 2005

“…this book is not just good; its breathtakingly good…achingly tender and beautiful…”
Ian Syson on Dead Europe
The Age - May 2005

“Dead Europe sets sharp realism against folktale and fable, a world of hauntings and curses against a fiercely political portrait of a society.  The energy in the writing, the pure fire in the narrative voice and the fearlessness of the tone establishes Christos Tsiolkad in the first rank of contemporary novelists”.
Colm Toibin – Author of The Master

“New Australia needs more A-Grade writers such as Tsiolkas”
Natasha Cica on Dead Europe – The Australian – June 2005

“This book shakes preconceptions from both sides of the political fence”
Sally Blakeney on Dead Europe
