'When One Person Dies The Whole World Is Over is a quietly enthralling and keenly intimate work about the search for meaning in the everyday, and what it might mean to belong. A record of a year of a life, When One Person Dies The Whole World Is Over is an attempt to pin down time, to capture the most beautiful and fleeting moments that we tend to rush past.'

'When Mandy Ord's publisher submitted her graphic memoir to the Stella Prize — to compete with a pool of 150 fiction and non-fiction works from across the nation — the Melbourne-based cartoonist thought it was "completely wild".'
'A novel-length immersion into the keenly felt life of Mandy Ord, Australia’s foremost graphic memoirist, is a rare treat. Widely praised for her self-published mini-comics, some of which were collected in the award-winning 2011 anthology, Sensitive Creatures, and her short stories, which have graced the pages of Meanjin, The Age and Voiceworks, Ord seldom ventures into lengthier narratives.'
