Review:
"[A] monumental work [of more than] half a thousand pages -- almost every one of which cries out for quotation" (New York Times)
"Riders in the Chariot is the most compassionate and the most beautiful of all Patrick White’s works; colours fly everywhere; his words, comic, ecstatic, are like the brushstrokes on a canvas" (Carmen Callil and Colm Tóibín The Modern Library: The 200 Best Novels in English Since 1950)
"This is a book which really defies review; for its analysable qualities are overwhelmed by those imponderables which make a work 'great' in the untouchable sense. It must be read because, like Everest, 'it is there'." (Guardian)
"The outstanding figure in Australian fiction" (New York Times)
"Stands out among contemporary novelists like a cathedral surrounded by booths. Its forms, its impulse and its dedication to what is eternal all excite a comparison with religious architecture" (Sunday Times)
