1 A.S. Patric's atmospheric journey into the past Owen Richardson , 2017 single work review
— Appears in: The Sydney Morning Herald , 14 December 2017;
— Review of Atlantic Black A. S. Patrić , 2017 single work novel

'A.S. Patric has been building a reputation with his hard-edged, dream-like fictions that owe as much to European modernism as they do to anything more local and contemporary. His last novel, Black Rock White City, dealing with Yugoslavian émigrés in John Howard's Australia, and the legacy of war in a new country, won the Miles Franklin; his new novel is an ambitious step forward – or back – into history'.

— Appears in: The Age , 9 July 2016; (p. 22)
— Review of Error Australis : The Reality Recap of Australian History Ben Pobjie , 2016 single work prose 'Recent events might suggest that Australia has taken a turn for the worse, but Ben Pobjie lets us know that we have never really been up to much. His stint as TV columnist for this paper has given him the skills to approach the national story as if it were a parade of reality TV contestants, so his take is not so much black armband as red nose and spinning light-up bow tie: more than irreverent, it's mean and derisive. ...'
