Maria Tumarkin, now a Melbourne historian, is never a bore. ... for the most part her account is fascinating, even exhilarating, and there is barely a dead word in the book.

Robert Dessaix, The Age
... even the English language becomes in Tumarkin?s hands a defiantly idiosyncratic tool. Thanks to this highly individual voice, Otherland is another smart and provocative read.

Judith Armstrong, ABR
   
Raimond Gaita
"Courage proves yet again that Maria Tumarkin is a fine writer – satirical, lyrical, moving and always reflective. She is often provocative but the way she combines disciplined intensity with unaffected charm engages the reader in discussion rather than polemic. Like all real thinkers she ploughs her own furrow across terrains of the greatest human significance, planting seeds that will nourish reflection in people of many kinds."
