Richard Flanagan Quotes

He Felt More Soft Raindrops, Saw Bright-red Oil Against The Brown Mud, Heard His Mother Calling Again, But It Was Unclear What She Was Saying, Was She Calling Him Home Or Was It The Sea? There Was A World And There Was Him And The Thread Joining The Two Was Stretching And Stretching, He Was Trying To Pull Himself Up That Thread, He Was Desperately Trying To Haul Himself Back Home To Where His Mother Was Calling. He Tried Calling To Her But His Mind Was Running Out Of His Mouth In A Long, Long River Towards The Sea.
