Koos Kombuis: "Riku Lätti se poësie-debuut is meer as net nog ’n oulike digbundeltjie in Afrikaans; ek sien dit as ’n monumentale en omvattende deurgronding van alle fasette van die moderne mens se soeke na betekenis en — hier kom die grootste verrassing — selfs ons opvattings oor die teologie."

Sanjana Thakur: "Writing stories is a way for me to accept that Mumbai is a city I will long for even when I am in it; it is a way to remake ‘place’ in my mind. I feel that the Commonwealth Short Story Prize offers that chance up to all of us: to be a writer who is from ‘somewhere’, to write from inside a legacy of colonialism and migration. I am so incredibly grateful to the prize for recognising that stories are not written in a vacuum."
