Disquiet

' A powerful and disquieting novella, a work of fiction so infused with the practices of film that, while each scene is fully and even vividly realised in words, it also translates quite naturally into film, into a visually rich action taking place before the inner eye.'  J. M. Coetzee, Nobel Prize-winning author of Disgrace

'Disquiet is the work of an artist who looks for truth in fear and trembling . . . It testifies to the power and seriousness of one of the most talented Australian writers to appear in ages.'  Peter Craven, The Australian

'[Leigh] creates images which are new and memorable.  She has a wonderful eye for details . . . Julia Leigh has written an extraordinary book.'  Miranda France, Literary Review

'Hypnotic . . . It's difficult to imagine a reader who will not be electrified by this haunting, masterfully told story.  Indeed, it's difficult to imagine a reader who will not be changed by it.'  Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
