— Review of Lynda Ng (ed.), Indigenous Transnationalism: Alexis Wright’s Carpentaria Frances Devlin-Glass , 2019 single work review

'Lynda Ng, editor of Indigenous Transnationalim, describes Alexis Wright’s Carpentaria as a “worldly” novel. Anyone who has read Wright’s novel will be aware of its multi-layered, globally connected language and imagery, its genre hybridity and complex characterization, and its faithful representation of its local environment. In particular, the novel’s account of environmental catastrophe – in Carpentaria these are floods, not bushfires – gains relevance and prescience on every rereading, as recent apocalyptic-scale events in one continent become a warning for others.'
