The Arts Desk (UK): Where the Objects Speak - grief speaks through inanimate things in this inventive, long and moving novel

“The Book of Form and Emptiness [is] rich with insight and deserving of a re-read. Ozeki’s talent for creating deeply realised characters...has also created gorgeously readable prose. As readers, we become more sensitive as the book unfolds: Benny learns to prioritise the voices he can hear; we begin to wonder which ones we have been ignoring. Ozeki has written an inventive, moving book, whose form is certainly interesting. It is far from empty.”
