Media for Because Everything Is Right but Everything Is Wrong

‘A tremendous debut novel, both delicate and muscular, artful and honest. It’s changed the way I attend to those I teach. I cannot give it higher praise than that.’ – Bernard Beckett

‘This novel is a striking chronicle of a young person watching the wall between himself and the world grow ever taller, and the small moments of brightness that reach him through the gaps.’ – Ashleigh Young
