Quentin Sprague’s sustained reflection on his physical, historical, and emotional place in the world begins and ends in finely-drawn locations but spirals out across time, geography, and feeling. Compressed, charged, and elegant, the questions are inexhaustible even as the setting casts its own particular spell.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"citation\"\u003e—Hugh Raffles, author of \u003cem\u003eThe Book of Unconformities: Speculations on Lost Time\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e“When you are on Country, in this case the Ngario people’s Monaro, the temporal turns into the spatial, history into memory, and time stops.
