"Park is a great researcher and a powerful writer."

—Geoff Chapple, Dominion Post

 

"… this is an important book. Park offers high quality scholarship, makes unlikely and highly valuable connections, and raises questions that need answers. … the questions are left dangling. But in the process of raising them, Park and his publishers have created a beautiful, provocative book."

—David Larsen, Listener
