A powerful, beautiful book. Its fierce love - of the land, the ocean, the elders and the ancestors - warms the heart and moves the spirit.
Alice Walker
The shortest BIG book I've ever read...strong and luminous as a needed beacon in a fog of disinformation and dismay, Julian Aguon with this small book emerges already a giant.
Tommy Orange
A breathtaking book and I mean it - this book took my breath away. No Country for Eight-Spot Butterflies is so alive with passion, wisdom and heart, you can almost feel its pulse.
Junot Díaz
I did not know I needed this book until it had me in its embrace like the oldest and dearest of friends, from the very first page. Overflowing with warmth and wisdom and defying all categorisation, No Country for Eight-Spot Butterflies is philosophy, poetry, memoir, history and self-help for humanity. With bottomless love for his people and place, Aguon guides us through a portal to the Pacific, sharing deep insights earned from life on the existential knife's edge.'
Naomi Klein
Julian Aguon speaks to the soul. His words - gentle, fierce, luminous and haunting - urge us to look deeper. To be kind, to be human. To cherish the earth. I am in love!
