Immortal Gestures

“Immortal Gestures isn’t just an endlessly fascinating and mind-expanding journey into the ways we communicate without words, it is a plea for an understanding of meaning and emotion that extends beyond language to fully incorporate the bodily.”
–James Bradley, author of Deep Water

“A compelling, revelatory dive beneath the logocentric surface. In a text full of surprises and charm, Young reveals and explores the vast deep worlds behind even the slightest movements.”
–Darran Anderson, author of Imaginary Cities

“Like sitting at dinner with an enchanting conversationalist who’s also a magician. You’ll never want to get up from the table.”
–David Lebedoff, author of The Same Man

“Young uses a depth of research, but with a light touch.”
–Lauren Gawne, author of Gesture: A Slim Guide

“Young’s selection is unapologetically idiosyncratic, given form by the philosopher’s probing mind.”
–Cameron Woodhead, The Sydney Morning Herald

“Fascinating … Philosopher Damon Young goes deep.”
–The Canberra Times

“Thoughtful, enlightening and amusingly digressive.”
–The Listener
