'So in an interesting way, this is a book directly in touch with its subject—it includes new contributions from the author himself, his publisher and editor Ivor Indyk, and his authorised critical biographer Shannon Burns ... Another World in This One offers a praiseworthy series of attentive and careful engagements with the intricacies of Murnane’s fictions. Much of his oeuvre is intelligently analysed, and particular critical attention is deservedly reserved for the four works of fiction he has published since 2009.'
