I'm awed by the range, experiment and political intelligence of Wright's work: she is vital on the subject of land and people.--Robert Macfarlane "The New York Times Book Review"

A magnificent work of collaborative storytelling.-- "The Age"

A unique, majestic biography. It is one man's story told by many voices, almost operatic in scale...the book sings with insight and Tracker's unique humour.-- "Stella Prize citation"

Wright builds, as much as anyone is able to in writing, a detailed portrait of a complex man, whose vision 'to sculpt land, country and people into a brilliant future on a grand scale' is inevitably accompanied by an irrepressible humour and suspicion of authority.-- "The Guardian"

Tilmouth was a man who worked through conversation and yarn more than with paper and pen, and this is a book about the place of the story in Indigenous culture and politics as much as it is about Tracker himself.-- "The Monthly"

[Wright] enacts the complex relationship between self and community that a Western biography could not...There is a cumulative power in the repetitions, backtrackings and digressions the formula necessitates: a sinuous, elegant accommodation of selves. It is a book as epical in form and ambition as the life it describes.-- "The Australian"

Tracker, a book performed by a folk ensemble rather than a solo virtuoso.-- "Australian Book Review"
