Utterly compelling . . . The Cancer Finishing School is exciting because it ties together the experiential and the abstract, the intellectual and the embodied, and the everyday and the extraordinary . . . Goldsworthy’s intense use of word play, anecdotes and motifs that criss-cross the narrative gives the work a complex structural harmony.
David McCooey, The Conversation
Rich and compelling. The vagaries and acrobatics of Goldsworthy’s mind, his deep curiosity, his magical thinking, his wonder, his regret . . . it’s all here on the page in rich and compelling detail.
